Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #102- Anything Goes; Christmas Card using The East Wind: Aurora- Waiting for you

This week the challenge is ANYTHING GOES!

The East Wind

Prize: 3 Digital Images

The artist behind The East Wind digital images is known as Unky LaStrange. Unky makes her home in British Columbia, Canada with her wonderful daughter, Aurora, the love of her life and source of much inspiration. She has been creating art since she was a child always allowing it to reflect her interests, humour, and love of all that is quirky. Her unique images run the gamut from the darkly humourous and sometimes creepy through the world of fashion-forward Lucy Loo to the sweet Aurora and Baby Aurora where life and people are good and beautiful. There are images to suit every taste, occasion, or whim at The East Wind (https://www.etsy.com/shop/theeastwind/)

Star Stampz

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Hey there crafty people!! Are you ready for Christmas? It's only a few days away!!!! Sadly, I have a very large stack of Christmas images waiting to be colored and turned into cards.... Whoops!!! LOL So I have a good start on next year already!! LOL

This week I got to work with the beautiful Aurora- Waiting for You from The East Wind. She is so lovely and those snow flakes have so many more details than I was able to color in on a 4" tall image... maybe I will reprint her bigger and give her another go for next year ;) For now feast your eyes on this lovely lady!!!

Isn't she just do pretty!!!!  I had so much fun coloring her up last night!

I can't wait to see where this "Anything Goes" Challenge will take you this week!! Have a very Merry Christmas my friends!!!!

Faery Ink One Dae Fae Day!!!!! Christmas Double Gate Fold Card using faery Ink Arielle Candy Cane Christmas Elf

This is like my favorite day of the month!! I love One Dae Fae day!!! Its one day a month that Amanda from Faery Ink creates this super adorable freebie for us all that's only available for 24hrs in the shop!! It is always a super cute little image!! And this month is not exception!! Look at this sweetie!!!

I just giggled the entire time I colored her!! For real!!!

And when I was done I used this awesome tutorial to turn her into a Double Gate Fold Christmas card!!

I love her so much you are gonna get to see her a few times this post!! 

For cardstock I used CTMH Kraft and colonial white. The papers are from My Minds Eye- Comfort and Joy collection. And then just for some added shine there is a red metallic paper used as an accent.

I used some new dies for the candy canes and present. I wrote and cut the sentiment with my Cricut Explore using the CMTH Artistry cartridge. Oh and a little Tim Holtz candy apple distress ink on all the edges.

And that's my adorable Arielle Candy Cane Christmas Elf for you!! Make sure you pop by the store to grab yours today!!!

I also want to take a minute to Thank all of you, Amanda, and the Faery Ink DT for having me the last 10 months!! Its been such a blast!!! Amanda is in the process of choosing a new DT right now!! I do hope to stay on the DT but who knows.. maybe One of you will get my spot!! I have had so much fun and loved creating along with you all and with Amandas incredible images!!!
Best of Luck to all those trying out for new DT and congrats to those who make it!!
