Happy Tuesday everyone!! The Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge is to create a card with an alterante fold or 3D(other than traditional top or side fold), please join us here for all of the details.

I might have cheated a bit here, I went for more of an alternate shape than an alternate fold, but I saw this wonderful stable card on Splitcoast Stampers and I was dying to combine it with my favorite Baby Jesus stamp by ODBD. I used a white pigment ink pad instead of white paint and added a swag at the top and bottom.
