Enjoy The Magic Of The Season
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece from my background stash to use as the background for today's card. On white gloss card I used alcohol inks to create a sort of heavenly sky. I used Sailboat Blue, Cobalt, Wild Plum and the silver mixative. I cut a Slimline Looped Rectangle in white then cut the background to fit on top. I wrapped a piece of vellum around it on the bottom before attaching it to the background. I cut the Christmas Angel out of silver card for her dress and used a milk card die cut for the base. I added the dress in layers and coloured her face, hair and hands with pencils. I cut her wings out of silver mirror card. I glued a star in the upper corner and used the Enjoy The Magic of the Season sentiment cut in silver. I added a shadow using Silver Mirror card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. Until we see a close up of your alcohol ink background the little white bits almost look like tiny sequins, I find it's an unusual pattern for a festive type card but no matter how unusual its beautiful because its different. As for your main element, I've never been one for Angels and I know you are proud and love your new Angel every year, out of them all this is my favourite. Back in the peace of the cottage surrounded by beautiful fields and sky for as far as you can imagine. Be safe and considerate tonight at the same time have fun xx
Hello Sue The background is amazing I would put a bauble instead of the angel. I am not going to the NEC this weekend because I am in too much pain so today I am going on every Sue Wilson craft dies to pick and choose. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue, love everything about this card Sue. I have been col!acting your Angel dies since day one. The background is stunning and shows her off, beautifully. Have a great weekend everyone. Stay safe!. Crafty Hugs,Pauline x
Good morning Sue. What a lovely card ... Another beautiful Angel ...but ... please forgive me for this ... I already have three of what I think are your best ever. So even though today's Card is lovely I would use one one of your other Angels. But we don't need Angel dies. Because here on this lovely blog with all our wilsonette's we have our very own Angel 👼 in you Sue. Thankyou. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds Please stay safe and well 🙏
Hi Sue. I love how nicely the angel stands out against the pretty background. I really think this is your best angel yet with her pretty wings and layered dress.
Just to say Thank You to you and the Creative Expressions team my blog winning die arrived in the post this morning. Thank You once again Stay safe and well all Elizabeth Bennett
