Here's another Christmas card, using the sketch Bugaboo has for its Christmas in July challenge that is taking place all week.
The image is from Bugaboo, colored in pencils, with a little Spica pen glitter on the wings and halo and Wink of Stella on the stars. The larger piece of purple paper is a snippet of some alcohol ink marbling, and the punched border is another snippet. Gold-flecked twine is wrapped around the top and bottom of the marbled paper. The sentiment is a little wonky, but let's call it a joyful angle.
This card is for these challenges
