Joy To The World

Hello bloggers!  I started by cutting the Starlight die out of silver sparkle card. I backed it with a piece of white card.  I cut the smaller decorative star and added it to the background.  I cut the Christmas Angel 2023 out of milk card to use as the base. I inked her hair with Gathered Twigs distress ink.  I cut her again out of cobalt blue and nipped away the dress and glued it to the base die cut.  I added the decorative accents to the dress in silver.  I cut the wings in silver too.  I assembled the angel and added it t the background with mounting foam.  I cut the Joy To The World sentiment from the Christmas Wordie sheets.  The card was completed with white, silver and blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue.
I know I'll be in the minority today but we all have our own favourite type of designs, this for me is a little too busy, and as I've never been one for angel's today's inspiration will thrill our friends that collect your yearly Angel, but it's just not for me, I'm sorry.

Thanks June Smith for your best wishes, I'm plodding on, worry or whinging never changes anything lol so yes, I'm doing OK, baby steps and smiles.
Love to all that visit this beautiful place of caring today xx

I'm with Steph on this, not too keen on angels,
especially with no features.

Glad to read you are plodding on, Steph.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I am loving this Angel, yes I have all the angel dies you have produced, I think if I made this sample I might try a lighter blue perhaps in glitter card, oh the ideas are running through my head now.

Steph, Pleased that you are improving, gently, gently does it. xx

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

Not sure today. Think it looks a bit too busy and I’m not an Angel fan (although your dies are gorgeous)…However so love that background die.

Hi Sue, much as I like this year's angel and the starlight die I can't put my finger on exactly what it is but the card is just not sitting right for me, sorry.

Hi Sue. Not too sure about this card, it is a bit too busy for me and the angel gets lost against the background - sorry.
