Christmas Angels

I decided to do an easel card for my best friend. I used this cute LOTV stamp of angels paying homage to the Holy child. I embossed the image then coloured with copics, adding a little glitter to the Angels wings and the stars. I had the blue Craft Creations Christmas paper in my stash which I used for the whole card. I cut the image and the darker blue mount using spellbinders nestie. Out of the same dark blue card I cut the snowflake border and the large snowflake using Joy dies. I also cut a holly swirl from the same card using a Cheery Lynn die. The snowflake border acted as the raised edge for the easel to rest against. I then cut another large snowflake, the holly swirl and the Merry Christmas, also by Cheery Lynn, from white glitter card. One I placed at the top left corner of the image and the other, plus the swirls, I overlaid with the blue ones and mounted on the front of the card. Merry Christmas mounted on the blue placed at the bottom. I added Christmas sentiments inside.

Keep Calm and Knit

      

This is my first card to blog (after the fiasco yesterday) I have stamped this lovely mouse stamp by Stampendous using Versafine and coloured with distress inks, vintage photo and worn lipstick. Cut it out using a nestie and sponged with the worn lipstick whilst still in the nestie, it gives that lovely white edge. I also stamped some extra hats by using a small ink pad and coloured them in a variety of shades then cut them out. The background pink pearlised paper I have run through a cuttlebug folder. Both this and the pattern paper come from my stock. I added some pink wool and the sentiment is by personnel impressions.
