Christmas Postage Stamp

Another Christmas swap!
I used Brushos on the background again but this time, after they had dried, I spritzed over with Pearl and Copper Spritz as a finishing touch.


This first stamp depicts the journey to Bethlehem so I needed a background that would show this.  
I used some silver trees which I fussycut from some wrapping paper.
Then I added the stamp!




The second stamp depicts the Birth of Christ so I used my fancy border scissors to cut out a music sheet - in this case the music for God Rest you Merry Gentlemen - with appropriate words just above the stamp.




I used some stamp border scissors to cut another piece of wrapping paper depicting the words 'You're a Star' and then added Father Christmas himself!!



For this card some craft wrapping paper was my fancy cut piece and then I added an 'alcove' to the forest scene!   I am not sure that this works for me but it looks good.

UPDATE:
I have received the following cards by return.

Lots of Christmas Postage Stamps on this one - telling The Story.
