Our sponsor for the challenge is:
I chose a sweet digi from My Heart Pieces called Sleeping Santa. An odd choice of digi for an 'orange' theme, but by this time of year, I usually need to get on with my Christmas cards!
I first added the sentiment and orange frame in Photoshop Elements before colouring the image with Promarkers, adding a little extra shading with Spectrum Noir pencils. The background paper is from a CD Rom I bought recently - the Joanna Sheen/Ivory Cats one. It's definitely got more cat images than I'll ever use, but the backgrounds are fabulous - lace and patchwork being just two examples. I altered the shading of this background from green shades to orange to match the theme. To finish, I added a couple of die cut corners which used a Joy craft die.
I hope you can join us this time
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafter's Cafe where they want die cuts,
Crafty Creations where they want us to 'use orange',
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge where anything goes (so long as it's Christmas),
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge where anything goes (with patterned paper),
Doodle Pantry where any digi goes,

Sister Act where anything goes,
That's Crafty where they want us to 'keep it simple',

I just love the idea of the orange for a Christmas card, this is going to stand out like a treat from all the others when folks put them out on show. It turned out perfectly Josephine, and the DP couldn't be more perfect. Fabulicious colouring on thd digi hun, it really looks like a hand quilted one :) Big hugs, Jane xxxx
