Peace On Earth
Hello crafters! I cut the Starlight Background in white and added it to a piece of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off, then attached the background and coated the remaining exposed sticky areas with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I cut a multi-layered frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles. I made a white base frame and added a thinner antique gold frame on top. I added it to the background with mounting foam. I cut the star from the Starlight Background in gold and glued it to the background. I cut the 2023 Christmas Angel out of milk card. I coloured the hair and skin then cut the die again in red and in gold. I nipped away the dress and glued it into place then added the filigree areas in gold. I cut the angel wings in gold then glued them to the angel and added the angel with mounting foam inside the frame. I cut the Peace On Earth sentiment cut from the Christmas Wordie Sheets. The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue and blog lovelies. Although I'm no angel and not a lover of, I like the design of the inspiration you've shared this morning, although I think your 2023 angel could have had this design all to herself ? Get surgery date today so unless I can figure how to get on hospital WiFi I'm doomed lol. Love and hugs to all xxx
Good Morning Sue. A beautiful Christmas cards this morning Sue. I don't know how you do it. But all your angels are lovely. I only own three of them and they are in my specials folder. I feel I have enough with what I have already ... But please don't take offence as all them are really lovely. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well everyone 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
I say every year that I'm going to start Christmas cards early but I always fail as I the wait until the full collection is out to ensure I purchase (if I can) what I consider the most important to me. Another lovely card. WakeyL
