Crafty Gals Corner Challenge # 180 Anything Christmas Goes

Guess what??? There are only 20 days until Christmas.  Are you ready?  I know that I'm not.  Still have some shopping to do and about a day and a half of wrapping to get done.  But I needed a break and decided to color an image for this new challenge. But first, our sponsor(s)...

SheepSkiDesigns
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Star Stampz
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

The Cutting Cafe
Prize ~ 2 Sets

I know, I harp on this every challenge.  Please go show some love for our sponsors.  They would greatly appreciate it.

This week I have colored a image from Star Stampz called Christmas Tangle.  This is such a fun image.  I colored it using my Prismacolor Colored Pencils.  

I wanted a special Christmas card for a dear friend.  So I dug out some paper by American Crafts.  The paper series is called Sweater Weather and this sheet with the snowmen is called Snow Friends.  Found it at Tuesday Morning a while back.  The frame is holographic paper from the $1 store.  Here are some better pics...

The front.  I used some vellum and printed out the words.

Love the inside.  The Snow Friends paper is double sided. 
the green is the inside on my card.

The back of the card.  

I think my friend will enjoy this card.  At least I hope so.  So that is it from me for this challenge.  The next challenge (Dec 21st) will be the year in celebration.  We try to celebrate each sponsor who has graciously sponsored our challenges this year.  So stay tuned for that challenge.  

As the back of my card this challenge says, May the beauty of Christmas be with you all year through!

Bright blessings,

So here is what I came up with.  The front bouquet is printed and reduced to fit the area of the card front.  Inside is the actual image that I colored and chalked the background.  (Of course I have a list of all colors used.  Just email me)  The card design is from Diana Tunnicliff.  I love her designs.  so here is my creation.

This is the Pumpkin Bouquet Digi that I hand colored using
