todays twisted sister challenge, to make a religious Christmas card.
I struggled with loading this card up, it was all I could do not to put my traditional gold cording.. but or the life of me, I couldn't figure out where...
what do you think... ok like it is.. or missing something?
colored with SU markers and aqua pen on water color paper..
thanks for stopping by~it makes my day!

Judy, you are the master of coloring in my humble opinion. This is just beautiful and water colors to boot! I like it just the way it is, beautiful. Love that black filigree, very rich and the gold brads are just enough. Again, I say it is just beautiful! TFS

Beautiful as is! The gold brads are the perfect touch, and your watercoloring is wonderful. Nice use of this nestabilities die set. Love the effect of the border stamp - it really showcases the focal image nicely. The more I look at this, the more I like it! Saving for reference. TFS. Linda

Judy, this is beyond gorgeous, and very heart warming. I love how beautifully you have colored the holy family. Your nesties are so elegant! The filigree bg and brads are a wonderful touch. No gold cord needed sister! Completely beautiful! TSMFS, LYMI!

This is beautiful and it does not need a thing. I love your watercoloring and that awesome sponging around the edges. I try and try to do that but it looks terrible. I think your embellies are just right. Great job..
