The image of Mary and Jesus is from a Gina K. Designs set called Christmas Joy. I also die cut that image with the inner die that goes with the Cheery Lynn Designs die set. The Mary and Jesus image was stamped with Gina K. Designs Wild Lilac ink onto white glossy card stock. The base card is of Wild Lilac too. To add a bit more gold I hand cut a couple of narrow strips of the gold glitter paper and added that along each edge. Then I made a bow with Gina K. Designs ribbon to add to the top. Inside I added a white panel where I can stamp or write a message.

Thanks for looking at my artwork so far for this afternoon. I really like the elegant simplicity of the design as that die really makes it look so regal. My dishes still await attention so guess I best quit playing and wash them up. You have a great evening.
God bless,
Verna

It's lovely and the gold glitter really sets off this modern Madonna so beautifully. I hear you about the paper and the CL dies. I've had trouble with some of the CL dies I have. The metal shim didn't seem to help me all that much either. Having to sit and poke (or even use scissors) on some of these intricate dies such as you used here, is very aggravating. It makes me avoid using the CL intricate dies. A friend made a different, thicker metal shim for me (other friends had recommended to me as I have the precision plate) and the CL dies work much better. Your final result was perfect though, and I'm glad you persevered. (maybe next time use lightweight c/s and do your versamark and gold embossing magic as you did on another card? Probably wouldn't look as rich as this gold maybe). TFS & Hugs
Beautiful Christmas card! I love the frame you have around Mary and Jesus, it is gorgeous! Thanks for joining us at Scrapy Land Challenges!
