Lady Anne's Christmas Progressive Challenge

Lady Anne's Challenge blog is doing something different - a progressive challenge.  We received two free digi Christmas images - those who complete this months challenge will receive the images for next month's challenge.  I thought I'd give this a try to see how it works out.

The first image we received was this touching Bethlehem silhouette.  I love religious images for Christmas so this one was perfect for me.  The light brown paper in the background is a very mild print that doesn't show up well in the photo.

The second image we received was this cozy candle lit centerpiece.  So pretty!

Here's a close up.  You can see that I used that same mask technique on both cards.  On the 1st to enhance that bright Christmas star and on the 2nd card, it highlights the glow of the candle in the centerpiece.

So, I've made it through the first step of this challenge.  I'm anxious to see what they have for us next month.

Thanks so much for playing along
