Believe in the Magic

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  It's still Tuesday here, but getting later by the minute.  My week is off to a very busy start so this is the first chance I've had to pop in since I got back Sunday night.  I am here to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing when I have time.  I somehow managed to squeeze this one in.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Holiday Style 8x8 pad.  The festive image is Christmas Angel from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A taffeta bow and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I am slowly but surely trying to catch up after my two weekends away.  I'll be by to visit as soon as I can.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sketch Saturday# 281 (sketch)
Addicted-to-Stamps Challenge #67 (Christmas is coming)
Saturated Canary Challenge #54 (season's greetings)
Show It Off Sunday - anything goes at Create With TLC

Here is SS-281:


Take care and see you soon!

  25. Oh Carla, this is lovely...The colors are beautiful. Sorry I have been away, just has not been a good year for me. Since losing my hubby in January seems I have had one sickness after another. Hoping now I will stay healthy for awhile. I am going to be viewing your past posts in the morning with a cup of coffee. They always bring a smile to me. Hugz, joann
