Glory to God...

and may your day be filled with joy!
 
Happy Day - it's Friday and my day to share for Digi Haven
Our new fortnight challenge - Wreaths and/or Ornaments starts today.

For my card, I used an image I found at Homeberries,
This site is filled with embroidery patterns, but they work great for cards too!
I really like the rustic, folk art feel to this image.
The ribbons around the star reminded me of a wreath, so that is what it is for this card.
I ended up making a long card, which I love to make and do often
And I used non-traditional colors for Christmas too.
 
Enjoy!
 
 
Paper from my stash of Close to My Heart papers.
The striped paper, scrap from my stash.
Colored the image with Copic markers, B00, B02, G00, G02, C-1
Finishing touches:  added pink ribbon, bow and adhesive pearls in blue and pink
 
Make sure to check out the Design Team inspiration HERE
I know you are busy, but take time to relax and create something wonderful.
I can't wait to see what you have to share with us.
 
I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
 
Ruby's Rainbow - Challenge #43 - Christmas with non-traditional colors
Perfect Sentiments Challenge - PSC59 - Anything Goes Christmas, sentiment on front
Creative Card Crew - Challenge #25 - Star
 
Catch the Frenzy! - Karen
 
...and remember the Reason for the Season!

    1. Thanks Sandy, I tried a Yellow star first and just didn't like it. Switched to blue and liked the way it came out and matched great with my papers.
