Yes, I am posting. Had to use my dh's computer last night to scan my card and, because it was quite late already, I emailed them to myself so that I can do this this morning.
What do you think? Is this card too simple? My reason for making a simple card is that mailing cards with lots of layers and embellishments can become somewhat costly. But I am trying to make a pretty card without too many extras.
Details:
Cardstock: Choc. Chip, Confetti White
Ink: Sponging: Close to cocoa.
Stamping: Craft Choc. Chip
Stamp: Nativity, no name on it. I've had it for over 10 years.
Other: Round punch for corners, small circle punch for gold cord.

I don't think that it is too simple. I think that you did a wonderful job of sprucing it up without all the bulk. :0)
I don't think it's too simple - unless you mean simply gorgeous! Love it!
I don't think it's simple at all, well, it's simple, but not plain. It's very pretty!
It is simple, but it is GORGEOUS! I love it! Simplicity at it's best I say. Now if only I can make simpler cards I too wouldn't have to spend so much on mailing them out. :S
I think it looks beautiful. Maybe try adding one more layer or some glitter? I love how you sponged the oval to create a special focus on the nativity. Great job!
sometimes a simple layout and card is perfect. i think that what you have done is just fine. it's simple and yet beautiful. thanks so much for sharing this with us.
I think it looks great. The simplicity helps keep the focus right on the picture, a wonderful symbol of the holiday.
It is beautiful in its simplicity,and the focus is right where it should be. Since you asked for our opinions I'll give you mine: I miss something more. Not a lot more ;-), but perhaps just a swirly "Seasons greetings" or "Happy Christmas" in the right hand corner below the picture.
I would also love to see how this card would look in a deep purple, night blue colour.I think it would look devine!
You have made a great job with the distressing around the the card and the motif.
Great work!

This card is absolutely gorgeous!!! Don't change anything! Sometimes the most beautiful cards and the simplest.
Also, you stopped by my blog earlier and I hadn't posted the stamp camp cards. Just wanted to let ya know that they're up now!

This is truly beautiful! The card's simplicity highlights the main image and gives it more depth. Well done! I love your blog--I will be sure to return. Marie
