Blessed Nativity

This week at Stampendous, we're celebrating "The Reason for the Season!"  For my card, I used Blessed Nativity Perfectly Clear Stamps Set.  This is such a sweet stamp set!  It's an adorable nativity scene and has multiple sentiments to choose from.  I thought it would be fun to try out my new Mermaid Markers from Jane Davenport's line of products.  They were pretty cool and very vibrant.

Here's what I used to create this card:
