Believe In The Magic

Hello crafters!   Here's another lovely and simple Christmas Angel card.  I started with a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card.  I used Citrus and Patina alcohol inks all over it.  Next I used the Elemental Swirl stamp all over it and I dabbed the stamp with Blending solution so it lifted the colour off as it stamped, leaving a light ghost-like appearance to the background.  Next I cut the 2020 Christmas Angel in milk card and vellum.  I added some highlights to the angel using distress inks for her hair and skintones.  I cut the dress out of the vellum die cut and glued it to the angel.  I cut the wings out of white card and glued them to her and added small pearls for accents.  I added the angel to the background with mounting foam.  Using The Believe die/stamp combo set, I cut the Believe sentiment several times out of white card and stacked them.  I glued it to the top of the card.  I stamped the words to go with it and cut them out with the tag die in the set and mounted it below.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue. The background sounds interesting, I class myself as a 'background bore' as finances dont make room for pastes or inks etc I dont have the means or artistry to play or experiment and what pastes and waxes I do have are hard as rock!! I just love my pixie powders and cling film, my folders too so I'm a happy bunny. It's a lovely idea and i love the snowflake wings but Angels I'm afraid Sue I'm just not an angel lover unlike the rest of our blog family that collect your special ladies each year. Sending love and hugs to all pop in today. STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 💕

    Hi Sue and everyone, at first I thought the background was a bit dark but when I read your text and zoomed in I could see the lifted pattern. The angel looks great, a nice quick and easy card. I hope everyone is well and sending hugs to all Donna xx

    Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a stunning sample, I so love the 2020 Angel, which is in my collection of all your Angels. Although this is Christmas with the sentiment you have used, what I like about it is that the wings are separate and the angel makes a beautiful evening dress or even wedding dress. Stunning Sue and thank you for this one xx

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Love the background although I’m one of the few in the minority who isn’t an Angel fan I can see this makes a lovely card.

    Good Morning Sue and all.
    I do love this card Sue and if I have time I may well make it for myself as I do have the die and I also have Pixie Powders so could use those instead of buying more stuff I may never use again
    I'd love to tell the story of why I would only make it for myself but this is hardly the place
    Love to all.

    Hi Sue. I absolutely love the background you have created. I wouldn't have thought of doing that with alcohol inks. I also love the way the angel really stands out against this background.
