This is for a weekly challenge with my Doubledog Dare Pals!
The host for this week was the lovely Joanne (aka SleepyinSeattle) and her challenge was to make a Christmas card featuring the color blue -- and we get extra bonus points for using non-traditional DP in our design. The base of this card is SU Urban Garden. I'm all about the bonus points!! The angel's wings are sparkly iRL courtesy of Spika Glitter pens.
Thanks for the fun challenge this week Joanne!

I literally gasped when I saw this, Anne. Your angel is absolutely glorious! You are going to need to come up here one day and show me some of your excellent coloring tips. So beautifully done with the deep rich colors and bit of sparkle. LOVE this. And yes, extra bonus points!!!

My computer is sooooo slow; I'm waiting for the blowup, aaaahh, THERE IT IS!!!! I was thinking this angel had a male quality to it and that makes it all the more beautiful since Scripturally speaking there is never anything female recorded about angels (sorry gals) so this gorgeously colored beauty has an extra special appeal for me. STUNNING work and design.
