Give Peace a Chance

I was inspired today to  create a Christmas card for  my 2019 stash, which was depleted last month. I absolutely adore this digi image from A Day for Daisies. It's called Placing the Stars
http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/fairies-nymphs/placing-the-stars and I've used it before.
Today I colored my image with Copics, adding some shading with colored pencil. I've been doing this often now, using both markers and pencils to get a deeper depth tp my images. I used 2 patterned papers from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles for my background from these Paper Sets:

I printed out my image (with its blue background) twice, cutting out the image and the patterned paper bow and adhering them to the first layer with dimensional tape.

Then I popped it  all on a piece of cardstock with stitched edges. To finish off my card, I gave the ribbon, angel wings and edges of the blue frame some shine with Stickles. I had some extra tiny stars die-cut from a border die. My sentiment goes (I think) perfectly with the image: Star light, Star bright, A wish for Peace on Earth tonight. If only...

Pick a Patterned Paper at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog.

It's time for a new challenge at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog. It's time to show off your patterned papers (Choose from one or more of the following patterns for your main background paper(s): dots, stripes, plaids, chevrons, or diamonds).

I've created a hybrid card, using both hand-crafted and digital techniques. From Scribbles Designs, I used #829 Happy Halloween and #F96 Scary Cat (FREEBIE).  Before I printed my images, I digitally placed a piece of striped patterned paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodle behind the Happy Halloween Wordart. I also fussy-cut the Scary Cat image, turning it from a black silhouette image to my "spooky see-through cat". After that, it was just a matter of layering the images with papers and adding some trim.

So if you're anything like me (paper hoarder), I'm sure you have everything you need to create an awesome project to link up to the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog. Hope to see you there!
