A Start on Christmas Cards.

I know that there are some of my card making buddies out there who have all their Christmas cards done but I do have a pretty good start on mine.

This is a set of cards that I did and sent to a cousin who is going to be having to celebrate Christmas this year without her husband who passed away a few months ago. I knew that it would be a difficult time for her and thought that maybe having a few simple cards to use would be helpful.
The image is from Stamp'n Up a few years ago. It is part of M-J's collection. The sentiment "The Miracle of Christmas" is from a purchase from http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/  (sorry I don't have the manufacturer's name right now). I used Versafine black onyx (my go to ink). The stamped image has been matted with black. Then a simple black ribbon to finish it off.
I almost forgot, there is a small golden stick-on gem in the centre of the star.

I am working a my own cards but they are all in various stages of construction right now.
Thanks for dropping by,
Sandy
