Santa, Don't be mad! - A new Christmas Card and tag from a brand new Artist!

Happy Thursday!
I'm honored to show you a new from a wonderful new designer!
Faith has been a friend of mine for a couple of years now and I've always admired her cards not matter which stamp company design she used. She can make a classic card, a funny card, a religious card, it doesn't seem to matter, I love them all!
Recently she decided to take her art to the next level and she's now designing her own digital images!
Designed 2 Delight is only just getting started but already the images are so good I know I'll want them all!
When Faith asked me to make a card using one of the new images I jumped at the chance and I hope you like the result.
Here is the gorgeous stamp I chose to use.

Be sure to read all the way to bottom of the post for a great discount just for being here!
I used a few challenges (17!) along the way to help me :)
I chose the sketch at Mojo Monday as my starting point.
365 Cards Day 273 want you to use Damask so I embossed the border strips with a Damask style embossing folder.
Color Throwndown had a color combo of Olive, Red, Brown/Cream and Pink
Rosie Dees wanted Red and Green and a bit of Bling!
Incy Wincy wanted Red and Green too
Opus Gluei had the theme of Holiday Bliss with anything relating to the Holiday Season
Creative Card Crew had a Christmas theme and so did Digital Tuesday and Stamp With Fun
Everybody Art wants to see Stitching
Jacksonbelle wanted a Christmas card so did Practical Scrappers and Paper Make Up as well
Creative Inspirations wanted a Christmas Card with matching tag
Paper Cutz had an open theme
Ok, now I'm really pushing it with this challenge Flutterby Wednesday had an open theme as long as the image is a Fairy, Butterfly or Angel. Well as this little guy has a halo he must be angel really, mustn't he? LOL And if he is then he fits with the challenge of Angels at Crafty Catz too!



This is one of the great things about digital stamps, you can print them in any size you like so if you want a card and matching tag you do this easily!
I colored the images with Copic's.
The dp are Basic Grey.
The Holly accents are from Hobby Lobby and the rhinestones are from Michaels $1 spot.


Here is the card on it's own.

Inside I added an additional sentiment, I hope it makes you smile :)

This matching gift card turned out so cute!

Don't you feel sorry for Teddy gettingcaught red handed? LOL

This was a "one off", I'm not on another team ;) but I hope you enjoyed this card.
