TFATU folk art angel inspiration card for 7 January 2022

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! Well, I did this thing in November. I heard that there was a blog owner who announced that the November challenge would be its last. I asked if I could take it over and the owner agreed. Within 48 hours or less, we just about had everything updated and you will see some new themed cards/tags/journals starting with this January 7, 2023 posting. So what is TFATU? It's the acronym for "The Fairy and The Unicorn" Challenge blog. Deadline is January 31. 

Maybe you will see a Yeti/Sasquatch featured card sometime in 2023!!! This first design team inspiration card as owner features a folk art angel that was cut from Christmas gift wrap paper! 

Glory! Hallelujah! Christmas card=

  6. Love folk art and unique that you cut the image from wrapping paper. The white background has great texture and assuming you did machine stitching is perfect for this card. Very pretty Christmas card and thanks for sharing your DT card with us at Double Trouble.
