Mary and Joseph and a DonkeyCompleted by Helen Jennings

I printed out 2 copies of the sheet. I used one as a template to cut the aperture in a piece of green card and the other as the template to lie underneath.

I used blue pearlescent paper for Mary, Silver paper for the donkey, dark brown textured paper for Joseph and pale brown paper for the staff.

I used a piece of gold peel off for the rope. I put a gold peel off round the edge of the card. I used a glue pen and gold glitter to make a halo for Mary.

I added a star shape brad and then highlighted around it with more gold glitter. I used gold peel off letters to create a "Joy" greeting. I matted gold paper and the matching brown textured paper onto a green A5 card blank. I then added the topper using foam tape. This creates a lovely card with texture.
