What Christmas Is Nativity....STAMPlorations ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop (Day 5, Dec.18)

Hello,

Welcome to Day 5 of the STAMPlorations ARTploration Stencil Blog Hop, where once again I'm joining Shery's gals for a showcase of the amazing stencils available over at her shop.


Did you see Toni's fabulous card on Day 4? The one with the lovely rainbow coloured deer?  You must go for a visit...and them come back to see how I rather 'shamelessly' cased her style using the Nativity Angel stencil.  I know that the colours are far from traditional, however, I *think* they speak to the joy of  the essence of Christmas.


NOTE: Honoured and thrilled to be selected as The Curtain Call Fa-La-La Lead! THANK YOU!

A reminder of what's in store for you if you comment

  • THREE (3) winners will be randomly drawn from comments left on the designers' blogs to each win their choice of 1 standard size ARTplorations stencil.
  • ONE (1) winner will be randomly drawn from comments left on this post (Day 1) to receive a $15 gift certificate to the STAMPlorations shop or her choice of 2 standard size ARTplorations stencils.
AND a reminder of what you can win if you join the party:
  • We've got extra prizes for those who participate in the Flash Stencil Project Linky Party (linky opens tomorrow, December 15, and closes on December 23).
Come play along!!

Also sharing at:

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge, drawing inspiration from the colours:

Long time, no see! Hope all is well! This is a wonderful card. The nativity always evokes a peaceful feeling, but I love the fun colors and wonky stitching-- gives a positive spin on a usually solemn scene!
