Hello,
I've included 3 of the daily challenges in with this HYCCT challenge, which can be found here: HYCCT1408 - My Hero Chat Thread by bfinlay at Splitcoaststampers
I used VersaMark and silver powder for embossing on my vellum, colored from the other side for a soft look, added pink ribbon for the CAS challenge and used today's sketch...which I love BTW, super user friendly!
I chose this image from ODBD (new release) because first and foremost, in MY life, my biggest hero is Jesus. He SOOOO gave me a brand new heart, new life and saved me from a life of self destruction!!! He has renewed my spirit and has so abundantly blessed me!!!
Thanks for looking!

Ooh, what a beautiful card, Robin. Love your silver embossing and so many wonderful details. There could be no better hero than the one you have chosen.

This is one beautiful Christmas card! I love the beautifully coloured, embossed image of madonna and child and also the elegant dry embossing with the added pearls.
