Merriest Christmas Wishes

Hello all!  It's time for another angel card I think!  I started this card with a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol Ink card from Ranger.  I used Cool Peri, Mermaid and Patina Alcohol inks applied to a felt applicator.  I also used some Blending Solution to move and blend the colours a bit.  I just love this card, the shine is beautiful from it (you can see better in the close up pics).  Next I cut the Mosaic Ray Background into a piece of coconut white card, leaving a wider section on the bottom.  I glued the alcohol inked card behind the Mosaic Ray background.  Next I cut the 2020 Christmas Angel out of  white card and vellum.  I used Fossilised Amber Distress ink for her hair and added some highlights to her skin with Antique Linen and Worn Lipstick.  I cut the dress out of the vellum and glued it to the other die cut of the angel.  I used a small piece leftover from the alcohol inked card to add her sash to the dress.  I cut the wings in white and went around the outer edge with dries clear glue, then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on them.  I glued them to the angel then seated her in the centre of the background.  I cut the Merriest Christmas Wishes sentiment out of extra alcohol ink card and glued it to the bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. I love the colour and the background and I know how you really love your Angel die but I've never been one for fairy or angels. I know there will be just one or two friends that feel similar about this subject but the rest of your sample is very very pretty.

I love alcohol inks but need more practice in using them. I must get some of this card to play with and see if I can replicate your gorgeous background.

Hi Sue
Love the mosaic ray background and the colours of alcohol inks that you’ve blended behind it but, like Steph, I’m not a fan of angels

Love and hugs to everyone

Afternoon Sue,
Beautiful, just beautiful!!. Love the Angel and mosaic background together. She looks so pretty. Your choice of alcohol know are stunning. Something else I need to invest in as your background looks stunning. In the meantime, I will continue to use up my gilding flakes instead.
Can't stop admiring your card Sue. Stunning.
Hugs xxx Pauline

P S Sorry Sue I didn't mean to refer to your choice of alcohol, lol, it should read inks!! Pauline x

Beautiful card.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. I love the wings of this angel and I also love the background but I am not sure if I would use the two together as the angels wings do get a bit lost against the background.
