Rejoice In The Season

Hi crafters!  I selected a deep blue pixie powdered background for today's offering.  I used Midnight Blue Pixie Powders to create the background.  I made a multi-layered frame in white using the Round Corner Square Dies.  I cut the Christmas Angel 2022 twice out of white card then glittered them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz I cut the angel's dress shorter on one of the die cuts.  I attached the two dresses together and nipped away the the hands and face so just the dress was left.  I cut the angel again out of milk card and coloured the hair blonde and the face and hands with a flesh tone pencil.  I glued the dress onto the milk die cut and added a thin blue strip for her belt.  I added wings cut twice from white vellum and  attached the angel inside the frame on the right side.  I cut the Rejoice In The Season sentiment in white and glued it next to the angel.  I added three twinkle stars in white in the upper left corner.  Using the Poinsettia Trio die set, I made two Poinsettias, glittered them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and accented them with white foliage from the Foliage Pieces die set.  The card was completed with white and blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
Although I've never been one for angels, I'm sorry I know how you love your new Angels, I love the effect of the design, the gorgeous deep blue pixie powders, your floral element, the built up borders, to how you placed those little stars, I wish I could be a crafter that enjoys fairies and Angels etc but I just can't I'm sorry.
Another weekend, they come round so quickly. I hope everyone is well and doing OK. Sending love to all that visit this beautiful blog today xxx

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and I love it. I think I have said it before but in my opinion this year's angel is your best one yet. The glittered and layered dress and the vellum wings are gorgeous.

Hi Sue. What a good idea to layer up that lovely angel making the card look more opulent. Love what you have done with the poinsettia (I was lucky to win this set in the draw)
