Merriest Christmas Wishes


Hello crafters!  Yes it is that time again,  time to start sharing Christmas cards!  I just had to start with an angel card too!  For this card, I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Falling Snow embossing folder.  Next I cut the Mosaic Ray Background out of white card.  I used a sticky adhesive sheet on to another piece of white card, peeled the backing off and attached the Mosaic Ray Backround to it.  I pulled out the Holographic Glitters to fill in the background.  I used Midnight Blue, Teal Have and Sea Spray and I started around the centre circle area in the die then roughly sprinkled them in a circle starting with the dark blue, then the teal and then the sea spray at the bottom.  I cut a circular frame using the Double Stitched Circles die set and added it with foam over the background.  I trimmed away the excess around the edge of the circle then added it to the embossed background with mounting foam.  I cut the Christmas Angel 2020 once out of white card and twice out of silver mirror card.  I used  Distress ink to colour the hair, face and arms of the angel on the base white card.  I cut the dress out of the two silver die cuts.  I added one full dress, then cut the bottom off of the second on and added it one top to give a flowy look to it.  I cut the wings out of vellum and attached them then added the angel to the circular frame with foam.  I cut the Decorative Flag die to give it two forked ends by cutting half way then moving the die around to the other side and cutting it again.  I added one more Decorative Flag in the centre but cut the forked ends off of it so it looked like it was tucked under.  I used the Merrriest Christmas Wishes sentiment cut out of Cobalt Blue card and glued it in the centre.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished diemnsions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi again, new week more beautiful inspiration. When the sample first loaded I did think ' not for me' then as I scrolled down your Angel looked totally different, the very first photo looked like you used Green cardstock for the dress which is why it didn't look right with the background but as I went further down and it showed the silver and white it gave a completely different look obviously so then it worked for me lol just a weird light issue which I definitely know that mirror card doesn't always photograph well lol.
I'm so looking forward to your festive inspiration so in the meantime please STAY SAFE LOOK AFTER YOURSELF AND KEEP CARING xxx

Morning Sue, STUNNING!!
Love the background. I didn't think that I needed the mosaic background to go with my Angel as I had the one from last year; but, you've just changed my mind. This looks fabulous with the glitter sparkling behind her.

Hello Sue and all
What a lovely start to Christmas cards for this year. I have my bulk ones just about finished but still have all of the "specials" for the family and closies to make. The holographic glitter looks so good behind your angel and I like the sentiment too.
Looking forward to more Christmas inspiration

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. Lovely idea for a Christmas card, however, I think the pretty angel gets a bit lost against such a busy background.

Very pretty card indeed, Christmas card making is not my forte, as I do not like Christmas, so always very difficult for me to make, usually last minute anyway, so anything easy for me....Your new Angel on this card looks lovely....luv Ursula xx

Breathtaking card. I have my 2020 Angel on order! This card is so lovely I would probably just keep it if I made one and bring it out to set on the mantel every year. I know, selfish.
Everyone, stay safe. We will get through this eventually.
