SMC Christmas In.....

This week over at Sew Many Challenges ....we challenge you to make a Christmas project!  Yes, I know it is only May but....how many of us end up sending out email cards over the holidays because time gets away from us?  I know....I know...I can so relate so why not get a head start and have some fun!  For my card I used this sweet heavenly Miki Christmas Angel image which you can find here.  I love a monochromatic card as I think it just automatically gives an elegant look.  I used some ivory cardstock that I bought by the ream at Office Depot or Office Max and just gave it lots of texture using my spellbinders and my cuttlebug folders.  As you will see below I didn't use much in the way of colors with my copics because I wanted to keep it a "soft" look.  I used the wonderful SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter which I love!! I then finished it off with a bow and a nice little gem in the middle!  Here are the copics I used:
We are so excited to have Stitchy from Stichy Bear Stamps sponsor our challenge this week.  She has graciously donated 3 digis of the winner's choice from her store to the winner of this week's challenge.  Here is a little bit about her:

Hi Everyone, my name is Stitchy and I create under the name Stitchy Stamps...I have been creating digital images for designers for almost a year now and try to learn something new everyday...I started out in paint shop pro about 8 years ago and started making digital scrap kits...then I was introduced to the wonderful world of paper crafts and card designing...like I said, learning new everyday, the rest is history...I can't draw enough to keep me satisfied anymore lol...
Living in a small town in upstate New York, tucked away where cable doesn't even go...friends are far and few between...But being on the internet for the past 10 years, I have gathered quite a few from around the world...Just like I learn something new everyday, I also try to meet someone new every day too...

Thank you Angela and Company for allowing me to sponsor for you...I am truly honored...

Be watching as I will be posting a project made with one of their images very soon!  Be sure to hop on over and check them out as they have lots more than just bears!  Can't wait to see your projects!!!
