Z- Fold Nativity Christmas card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have managed to get lots of things sorted out this week which is good.

I have been really enjoying the November Challenge at Beccy's Place challenges. This will be my last post for the challenge. I can't believe that November will be over so soon.


I had made a z-fold card with some dies from John Next Door and I wondered if the same idea would work with the Scenic Nativity Border dies from Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. In addition I used the Bethlehem Border die from Taylored Expressions and the Starry Night sky die from Creative Expressions. The Peace die is from Creative Expressions to. 


I did cut some extra camels and palm trees. I like to decorate right to the bottom of the panels. 


When the card was finished the manger scene was in black. I felt that it didn't show up enough. So I cut another in gold and used the black as a shadow. I do like it when you have an idea and it works out. 

I would like to enter the following Challenges:

Happy Crafting

Absolutely beautiful Jackie! Your card is so elegant, love the combination of colours. The little manger scene looks fantastic with the black shadow, I definitely think you made the right choice there. Love the card fold and the way you've brought the design across the different section. Wonderful!
Cheers,
Beccy
