Come and Get It, Christmas challenge

At 'Come and Get It' challenges we are challenged to make a Christmas Project

and it is being sponsored by, one of many, Sandra Caldwell where I am a DT member!

I am using 'Pretty Please'

I made a Double Z Fold card, here she is just colored using copic markers.

I used an ornament punch,  some ribbon, and a mosaic punch from Stampin' Up. The little ornies are stickers from my stash and the Christmas letters are a recycled tag.

 

Folds flat for mailing.

Look at this face! How can you deny a visit from Santa!

I use 'My Digital Studio' by Stampin' Up (sadly discontinued)

Digitally Sweet Challenges (Floral)

This is my second 100% digital entry at Digitally Sweet cuz I love flowers.

This time I used a Little Thorns by Artist Cate Edwards with my own coloring

I scanned it back into my computer and used digital embellishments from the web and my digital software from Stampin' Up in combination with WORD. The little colored horses were her greyscale which I removed the background, colored them on WORD, mirrored some of them, grouped them together, and made them small

Make it sparkly

At Spellbinding Stamps by Nikki Burnette we are challenged to make it sparkly, I love sparkles!

I used an image from Sandra Caldwell called 'Glamour Nana'

The reason behind her purple hair is, ladies with white hair use a blueing rinse which sometimes is purple and they use too much making their hair purple or blue and think they are styling! LOL!

Here is just her colored

 

Here she is sparkly.

 

Used glossy accents on her sunglasses

Used some swarsky (or how ever you spell that) crystals on her blouse, chopsticks and glasses

Put some stickles in various places and the rest is from my stash
