Christmas 24: Challenge #2 - Anything Goes!

Hello, friends! I am SO excited to be sharing that I am on the Design Team for the *NEWEST* holiday card challenge, Christmas 24! If you follow along, you will have 24 cards made before the Christmas holiday each year! Challenges are biweekly on the 1st and 15th of the month, and this month's challenge are ANYTHING GOES.  ALSO, we are holding a DT Call! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first ever challenge--we loved all of your gorgeous holiday creations!

Here is my creation for the 2nd challenge this month.

I created the focal panel for this card in Photoshop using cleaned-up vintage digital images and a sentiment I created. I added texture with various brushes. I then matted the focal panel with black cardstock and added it to a kraft card base. I chose not to add any bling so that the angel is the main focus of the card.

I very much love this simple, yet elegant holiday card, and I hope you do, too! I would love for you to tell me your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends! Please come join us at Christmas 24, and don't forget to leave some love with the other members of this fabulous team! Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping!
