Christmas cards with french greetings and a more religous theme

After a persusal of my Christmas card stash I realized that I had added greetings to most of them and I did not have any french ones!!  I wanted to have few with a more religious them and french greetings.  I was fortunate to find these images and die cuts in my stash so I was able to make up what I needed. 

The first one features a great image of Santa and baby Jesus from Melonheadz which I have often used.  I watercoloured the image, layered it with black and then mounted it to a card with a handmade paper background layered with a red strip and black brad on a red card front.   

My second card features a gold embossed Mary and Jesus image which I bought a few years ago with my Mom in mind.  She likes her Christmas cards with nativity scenes on them.  I added the french greeting (SU), a gold brad with blue thread and finished it off with paper piercing all the way around using my pattern tracing wheel.   I added a blue handmade paper background to a light gray card and then mounted my Mary & Jesus image to it.  

My third card features a nativity die cut from Taylored Impressions to which I added a gold ribbon and a gold embossed greeting.  I layered these onto a sparkly music sheet background overlaid onto a kraft card.  I added a gold sequin to the star over the stable.  Done!!  

Glad to have a few more of the cards I will need for this year!!  Therese
