Joy Clair: The King Is Born

Hello there Joy Clair fans! It's Kerry here and I'm back to share another fun project featuring the gorgeous Christmas set called The Reason. It's one of my most favorite Christmas sets. This set includes angels trumpeting their Heavenly praises and Mary/Joseph/baby Jesus and several perfectly perfect sentiments for this joyous season. I just love it!!!

I wanted this card to focus primarily on Mary/Joseph and baby Jesus so I kept the rest of the background pretty plain (and white). I did add some elegant reds/golds for the patterned paper on the bottom to help coordinate with the clothing. Of course, I had to add some sparkle too so I added a strip of golden glitter paper separating the patterned paper and the white paper. I also gave Mary and baby Jesus' golden halos a bit of shimmer and shine with some microfine glitter.
I colored the image with Copic markers and tried to give the images a watercolor-like treatment so I didn't blend perfectly with this image. To finish my card off, I tied some satin ribbon around the image and mounted it onto a burgundy card base.
