PTT Anything Goes Week

Happy Christmas Eve Day!  

Today begins the new challenge at Party Time Tuesdays -

Anything Goes - this week!

Sponsors are Rick St. Dennis and Guylou's Inimitability

My card is using Rick St. Dennis digital stamp - 

Star Fairy

If you haven't seen his digital artwork, WOW, go check it out.

http://www.zibbet.com/Rick1949

It is amazing!!

I LOVE her.  I added tons of glitter to really make her sparkle,

cut her out and popped her out.  I thought this pretty card stock with flowers was

just perfect for her to be flying around. And then added a sentiment that I already had.

These are some of my favorite color combos!

Happy Holidays to you all, whatever holiday you celebrate!!
