A Christmas Card Showcase!

Today's ATS Wednesday Challenge is a Christmas Card Showcase! The challenge is to create Christmas cards that are simple and can be easily mass produced, so that we can get some great ideas for our Christmas cards!

Do you want to see something cute and fun? As part of Monday's ATS stamp release, Christine also created a set of angels that are digi downloads! The set is called Angels Everywhere, and you can see them HERE. For $4, you will be sent zip files containing all the images. You can open them in your program of choice, resize to your liking, and print! I used the file which has all the angels on one page -- I just used my Circle Nestabilities to cut out the ones I wanted to use!

I used the same sketch on all my cards. I also kept the same color palette (Baja Breeze, Old Olive, Riding Hood Red) and used the same patterned paper collection (Figgy, of course!). Doing those things made the process so much quicker -- not too much thinking required! ;) I colored with Prismacolor Pencils blended with Turpenoid, and I added Stardust Stickles to the wings and halos. The three sentiments are from Christmas Sentiments by AmyR Stamps. I punched them out with a SU! Word Window punch and added rhinestones to the ends.




If you'd like to take part in our Christmas Card Showcase, upload to the ATS Wednesday Challenge Gallery with keyword ATSDTC26. You can also check out the ATS Blog later on today to see what the Design Team created!

One more thing before I go... the newest ATS Design Team members have been announced on the ATS Blog -- go HERE to see! Congrats to all these talented ladies -- I'm looking forward to working with them in 2009! :)

Thanks for visiting today -- I am always glad when you stop by! Have a wonderful day! :)

Such cute little cards and images, and what a great idea for people who don't want to spend a lot of money on stamps, to be able to download the image from the internet. Love it.
