What a little cutie! As it was a sunny day here and I wanted to go out to play in the garden, I stuck to LOTV pre-coloured images rather than spend ages colouring what ended up as three identical cards:
- 6" square white card blank
- the beautiful and quite subtly (think of Wink of Stella) glittered backing paper is from First Edition's 'Gilded Winter' paper pad
- the pre-coloured angel image is from LOTV's Set 16 'Christmas Angels' Art Pad. I trimmed it to a square then punched each corner with a Woodware fancy corner punch before layering it onto a slightly larger square of Christmas green card stock
- the sentiment is from the Personal Impressions ''Many Greetings' set, stamped using Brilliance 'Pearlescent Thyme' ink
- to finish off the image I then added some touches of gold Wink of Stella to the stars (including a few in the angel's head dress) and they match the glittering on the backing paper so well - and also went over the wings with clear Wink of Stella
- the ivy was die cut from more of the Christmas green card stock using Joanna Sheen's 'Ivy Corner' die and just snipped down
- final touch, three green Josy Rose nail heads in the bottom left corner
Ha! We finally have sunshine and I'm sitting here making Christmas cards :)

ReplyDeleteLove your cute Christmas angel Di and the pretty shimmer you have given her which complements the equally lovely shimmer in the background. Beautiful! x

This is gorgous Di. You're angel is so sweet and I love the shimmer of the backing paper xx
ReplyDeleteAdorable little angel card, Di. Glitter is notoriously difficult to photograph!! Thank you for your lovely prayerful and supportive comments during my hospital stay. I am so happy to be home now, and my recovery is going well, but will take time. I have a load of lovely messages to reply to! Please keep an eye on my blogs for further updates as and when I am able to do them.
