ODBDSLC259 Seasonal Inspiration Challenge

For this week's Inspirational Challenge at ODBD, I made a very simple Christmas card.  This new Adore Him die from ODBD really doesn't require much else - it's so pretty all by itself.  I die-cut it twice, once out of watercolor paper and another out of black card stock for a shadow effect.  I used watercolor brush pens to paint the different elements of Christmas.  I then glued it all on gold card stock trimmed with the large pierced die from the Flourished Star Pattern die set.  I matted it with black card stock on top of a white card base.
