So, to start off the holidays on the right foot, we really need to remember the real meaning behind the holidays. The birth of Christ that is why we celebrate to begin with. This is a cute image of the nativity, but still depicts the meaning just the same.
I used some puffy paint on lamb to look realistic and sparkled the Angel's wings, added some golden gems to represent stars in the sky and one dangling star charm as the Star of David. The raffia is to be the hay that surrounds them. I hope that you enjoy all of the special effects used to make this more meaningful.
A close up to show the dimension.
The inside with a gorgeous around the page punch and the word "remember" so that we do remember the meaning of Christmas.
The metallic gold handmade box envelope to finish it off.
