For the 12/5-12/19 AnnaLift Challenge, we're asked to use 3 of the 5 challenge colors and some sparkle! The colors are -- at least as best as I can describe them in words -- poinsettia red, gold, gray or silver, a dark brick red brown, and forest green.

I started with a template from Anna Aspnes' WaterColor Template Album No. 10 and layered in a pine colored background from ArtPlay Palette Pinery. Using clipping masks in Photoshop, I added my photos to the template. The template has a layered paper under the left photo, so I clipped in a polka dot paper. And, the photo to the right of the stars has a place for another layered photo behind it, but I clipped the polka dot paper there, too.

Next, I added the star trim, pine needles, and origami star from the ArtPlay Palette. The knit snowman, pine tree, and hat are from Holiday Knitted Notions No. 1 by Anna Aspnes. The gold glitter is from Whispers of Winter Elements by Joyce Paul Designs.
