Guylou's Christmas Card Challenge

Sweet Joy
So I won my very first challenge over at Guylou's Inimitability a couple weeks back.  It was Guylou's Give Thanks Challenge and I had a lot of fun creating my card for that.  I was totally thrilled with the win, because then I could pick ANY digi I wanted to play with!!  Well lemme tell you, it's a lot harder than you would think having to choose just one!!!  Luckily for me, Guylou just released her new Christmas images.  It took me forever to decide, but with the help and input from my darling hubby, I went with Louise and Candycane.

We endured a crafting crisis when I spilled distress ink all over the original patterned paper.  There was just no salvaging it...but I think my Plan B worked just as well.  Colorbox pigment inks were used for distressing and the sentiment stamp by Recollections.  I used Crystal stickles for her hat, cuffs and pom-poms.  If you haven't already, go visit Guylou's digi stamp store http://guylousinimitabilitystore.blogspot.com/ for all her latest Christmas digi images - I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
