She Brought Him Forth and Laid Him in a Manger

It is Paper Piercing time over at Digi Doodle Shop Best Challenge Blog.  This is my contribution and I believe this Nativity Digi is absolutely stunning..   It is called simply, The Nativity  and it is on sale for $1.50.  I teamed it up with a Christmas sentiment from the Dig Doodle Shop's Christmas Scriptures   and it is one of the many sentiments that is totally FREE!  Whoo Hoo!

I started this card using the heat embossing technique  on a  piece of SU craft paper.  I  stamped the trees using the SU  "Lovely As A Tree"set with Versa Mark. I then sprinkled them with SU Iridescent Ice embossing powder on top and set it with my heat gun.  I printed my digi on Cryogen White paper from The Paper Temptress, colored with Copics and cut it out.  I applied it to the craft paper with foam tape for some dimension.  I printed the sentiment on craft paper applied it to a piece of DP cut out with a scalloped  rectangle Spellbinder popped up with foam tape.  The white scalloped circle was punched with a Marvy punch and cut in half.  I tucked one on the bottom left corner and the other half on the top center border.  The snowflake border is a Martha Stewart punch.  I first applied glitter to the snowflake border, but it just looked to gaudy for a baby born in a manger so I punched another one and left it plain white.  The blue dotted paper is from my stash and that is where I chose to paper pierce a border around it.
