Sharing my last
Christmas card for 2018 that only just got finished and mailed featuring the
beautiful 2018 Christmas Angel die cut from Sue Wilson and a sentiment from Altenew’s
Starry Night set.
I was originally
going to do the angel in a faux stained-glass effect but when I saw the current
sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches it sent me off on an entirely different
direction. I used another die for the
horizontal element and randomly added some gems in the holes prompted by the add
some sparkle theme at Sparkles Christmas.
Once I’d picked
the die cut for the background, I decided I needed an inked base for it. I went with purple tones as
this card is heading out to a friend who loves purple. After I adhered the angel, I added in the
sentiment stamped on the same pearlescent paper as the angel and matted on some
plain purple cardstock to match the rest of the card.
Over at Unicorn Challenge they are looking for things with wings on your project so I am also
linking my card up there.

Wonderful card! Love the gold angel and purple background! Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the way you embellished the strip behind the angel - it really sparkles. Thanks for joining us this week at CC&S!
ReplyDeletePurple tones are such a great colour choice for the angel card - I love the sentiment too - as a singer this was one of the carols I often sang at carol services so that took me back a few years - thanks for joining us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Fiona DT
