I've just worked out that this is my last DT post for 2017, it's my inspiration card for Sweet Stampin' the theme is 'Last Minute Christmas/ CAS'
I used a cute Stampendous stamp, which has lain untouched since I bought it a year ago. Stamped and embossed the image and sentiment with gold EP onto black card, then added the die cut stars. It looked a bit boring so I stamped the image again onto white card, coloured it quickly, fussy cut and stuck over the first image. Much happier with this and it was still quick to make as the image is small, simple and quick to colour and cut out! In fact I like it so much I made another...no cutting out this time!
Thanks for stopping by at this very busy time of year, it would be great if you had time to pop over and see what my teamies have created...some fabulous ideas for quick and easy last minute cards if you're looking for inspiration.
Have a lovely weekend

Chris, your card design is absolutely perfect... in both black and white. I'm loving them both, but if if had been me, the white one would have never happened, because I love the black one.
Two beautiful cards and such a lovely design. Thank you for sharing with us at Winter Wonderland.

Aww, what sweet cards Chris! The image with the angels holding the baby is so precious! Love the trail of stars, wonderfully magical! The sentiment is perfect for this heavenly scene, love it! hugs :)
I did a little squeal when this came through my letterbox! I LOVE this gorgeous card so much! The wee image coloured up on the black is so striking and stunning. I love that you took the time to do that little extra. I looks amazing with the gold embossing behind it too for the wee halos etc. It's as though you always intended it to be that way! I utterly adore it and it's going to be on my craft room shelf all year!!! I hope my parcel for you arrives soon. Fingers crossed before Christmas?! Hugest hugs and wishing you and yours a beautiful Christmas celebration and wonderful New Year! Wends xoxo
Love the stamp and both versions look fabulous! Your gold embossing is so neat, too - I can't help but get the stuff everywhere! xx
Love them both - that is such a cute little stamp.
Thanks for joining us at the Cutie Pie Challenge and all the best for 2018.
