My first easel card

Good Sunday morning to you all!
At last I've had the chance to make an easel card! I've been wanting to try one of these for a few weeks now after having seen so many gorgeous samples floating around blogland! And is it ever easy - I love it!
These super cute images are from Pink Gem Designs and I've coloured them up with my distress inks. Mary and the manger are popped up in front of Jospeh and the donkey to add a bit more dimension to the scene. Paper is from Daisy D's and the sentiment is Inkadinkado (I think). The punched border is the Moroccan punch from EK Success - I love it - it's so elegant! Ribbon was from stash and I placed 4 blue crystal gems in each corner. I added some stickles to the stars on the sentiment panel for extra sparkle!

Well, that's all for today! I hope you all enjoy a beautiful Sunday wherever you are visiting from in the world. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your comments - they are so appreciated!
Hugs,

PS. Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy if you haven't already - only another day to go before it closes!
