Ragged Angel.....

Hello everyone: Well, things are getting back to a slow normal again, my grandchildren, from the 18 year old to the 9 year old, are back in school, hubby back to work and I'm back in my craft room.
We had family from Mexico visiting, my husband's cousin and family came to Chicago for the Holidays so it was fun, although busy but fun non the less.
So here I am with my very first Merry Monday card for this 2017, I hope your Holidays were filled with the warmth of family and friends, good food, good bubbly, lots of gifts too. I wish for you and your families, Peace, Health, Joy, Love and Prosperity in 2017.
Here is my first Christmas card of 2017, hope I can collect a good amount, because this year, I was a bit short, I made lots of new and dear friends so, here we go, hope you like it.

This sweet and beautiful image is from Penny Black and it's called Ragged Angel, I stamped onto a die cut panel of Strathmore multi media paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter. The snow under her little boots was done with embossing paste, the pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley (discontinued) and the "JOY" sentiment from Penny Black Love and Joy die set.

**********************************************************************

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

This sentiment is from the Power Poppy set called O Holy Night and the little candle on the corner is from another Power Poppy set called Merry Littles, I use this set all the time to finish the inside of my Holiday cards.

I would like to enter this card onto the following challenges.

Hugs from Maria.
