D2D Designers challenge

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Designed2Delight. It's girls and glitter this week. I'm on a bit of a Christmas card kick at the moment, so I decided to go with it.

This Kaela as an Angel is an older image and one of my favorites. She's glittered up on her wings, star and halo with a generous amount of stickles.

I've used Tracy's sketch from Sketchy Thursday #147 at Eat Sleep Stamp. Another great sketch from Tracy!

    Love, love, love how you rounded the opposing corners. It takes the look/feel of the card to a whole other level. In a GOOD way! *wink* I also like how you used two different shades of green. Another favorite for me!!! Thanks for playing along this week Kathy!
