Crafts and Me Challenge: Make it Count! Add a Number!

The Dynamite Digi team at Crafts and Me Stamps wants to see a number on your project.  Memory Box is sponsoring this challenge and offering three dies to a randomly selected entry.  Find out more about this challenge and sponsor here.

I've used a newly released Christmas digi image by Sara Burrier called The Giving Angel.  The cookie tray she's carrying holds gingerbread men, trees, stars and other scrumptious treats.  This photo shows a closeup of my Copic-filled image.  I used a Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen Fanciful Stencil for airbrushing a background.



I've layered Bazzill green and rust with a touch of green bling to coordinate with My Mind's Eye Holly Jolly "Holly Berries" double-sided patterned paper.

Using Spellbinders Labels One for the "beyond the edge" technique allows those wings to keep their heavenly shape past the edge of the die.

A few QuicKutz holly leaf photo turns and mini gingerbread men add a nice border to enhance the holly in her hair and the cookies on her tray.  The calendar is from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Mini Holidays set.



A ticket from a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Odds and Ends set adds another number to my card.  I've used Tim Holtz idea-ology charm clip and Adornments star charm to match the theme.  A couple of QuicKutz scalloped corners and a bit of 3/16" gold sparkle edged ribbon help to pull it all together.  This photo shows the completed card front showing my use of The Giving Angel and how I've added a number to my project.
