Happy Monday!! 6 more days until Christmas!!

Hello everyone!! Only 6 more days until Jesus's Birthday, when the world receives the greatest gift known - baby Jesus. I wanted share the card I made for Christmas.  I used the stamp set Come to Bethlehem by Stampin' Up.  I choose,Come to Bethlehem stamp set, because it brought the story from the Bible of the wise men to life. In Matthew chapter 2, the wise men where guided by the eastern star to see the beautiful baby King that was born. 

The card opens from the side, right to left.
