Tic, Tac, Toe

Hello everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week we have a   

Tic, Tac, Toe

see below

I chose: Fake stitching, Pattern paper, and Nativity the from the Tic Tac Toe. 

I cut a large sheet of design paper into 6 parts so I can use them as backgrounds for 6 of my cards. (It's not always easy to use these papers with large patterns on cards, but it works well for some.)

See also here, here, and here.

I die cut a circle from the design paper, adhered the stamped and uncolored nativity scene behind it, trimmed the panel, and then did fake stitching around the edges. 

"Silent Night" was already a part of the design paper. I die cut it with the same die as the circle, trimmed it and placed it inside the circle. This gave me the ground for the scene. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in gold on vellum and attached it to the panel. 

Finally, I adhered the panel to a white blank card. Hope you like it.
