I started by cutting the Mosaic Frame three times out of white card. I backed two of them with Antique Gold card and one with white card. I cut the centres out of all of them, then cut off the two longer sides on each of them frames. I added mounting foam to two of the gold ones and raised them and then alternated the white and gold ones flat in the centre. I cut the 2018 Christmas Angel in black with a gold piece of card behind to create the outline, then glued the black out line on top of it and mounted her on the right side of the card with foam. I cut two Swirled Silent nights in black and stacked them and glued it into place. I cut two antique gold poinsettias and seated them on a white satin bow in the lower corner. White, antique gold and black mats and layers completed the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue,
What a dramatic effect you have created with your card today. The angel in black and gold is stunning. It is amazing how changing the colors and the textures used on the angel give such a different feel to the card. The background created using the Mosaic Bauble Background is really unique.
Have a wonderful Sunday and try to stay cool.

Morning Sue.
Thank you a beautiful card.
Sue your new news are so lovely too.
Take care and keep cool.
Morning Sue. Vintage gold - my go to cardstock for festive and those celebration cards that needs more luxury than the every day occasion cards. I'm not an angel kind of person but I think she's my favourite design so far. An unusual festive design but still lovely all the same ☺ thanks again for a lovely start to the day and hope your Sunday is a lovely day too xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I love Christmas so seeing all these wonderful samples really inspires me and spurs me on to make my cards.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Fabulous Christmas card!!
Beautiful Christmas card Sue, thank you. Xxx
Stunning card Sue x xhazel
Lovely card with subtle gold highlights
Good Morning Sue
Well just over 20 weeks until Christmas so I think it's fine to start on some Christmas inspiration otherwise it will be too late for us to take advantage of it. I've already made half of mine for this year so am feeling little smug!😊
Today's card is beautiful. Your angel is stunning and the intricate background really works. Thanks for sharing.

I like this angel die but feel it would be better shown off with a simpler background as it is beautiful in its own right.

Hi Sue, my apologies for being AWOL yesterday, as they say 'life got in the way'. I have just watched the video and was most interested to see the double masking making the background. Today's card is quite striking with the mosaic background (which I have not long received and am looking forward to playing with) and your beautiful angel and poinsettias in the antique gold card are lovely.
Frances
Hello Sue
This is a little too fussy for me but I do love the colours.I always start my Christmas cards ear!y because I have so many family birthdays in the latter months of the year.So your examples are most helpful

Hello Sue and all
Love the mosaic background and yes this angel is the prettiest so far I think. The gold and white with a touch of black is so outstanding, just a lovely card.
Never too early for your Christmas cards Sue, I have been trying to make one special one per month all year for family and besties and almost keeping up lol !! I also make 5 per month for the small ones to post and give to trivia team members, friends and keeping up with that too, last year I had such a mad rush at the last moment, never again !
Hugs
