Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  My weekend won't be that fun, I'm sure.  I am having back surgery today, so this post is pre-scheduled, as will all of my posts be until I am able to get up and around again.  I hope it won't be long before I can at least get back on-line, but it may take me a bit to catch up and come by to visit.  Anyway, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  As always for the last challenge of the month, the theme is "anything goes" with the option to make it a Christmas creation.  You can do whatever you'd like, but please remember your project must have coloring with Alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Cranberry Tart and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Vintage Christmas 6x6 pad.  The precious image is Christmas Angel Daniella by Elisabeth Bell for Belles 'n Whistles.  I got her from Dies to Die For when I received a gift voucher from winning a challenge they sponsored.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  In case you are interested, this image is also available as a pre-colored card topper in a set called Christmas Angels from The Hobby House.  I added a bit of Shabby White Frantage around the image and stitched around all the panels of my sketch.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A double-loop satin bow, a pearl stick pin and a bunch of beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my Christmas card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Alcohol Markers Challenge and check out the beautiful creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will play along with our final challenge of October!  There are always lots of awesome prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!
