Angels

Beginning of a new month and time for the girls in the Christmas Card club to show our makes. Granmargaret set the theme which was Angels or Fairies.  I chose Angels as I deal with lots of fairies at christmas on my blog. I only have one Angel stamp which is by Creative Expression. It doesn't have a name just a number on the wooden block  HH1156B. It is quite a small stamp being 1.25" x 1.75" which on its own  I Thought would be quite swamped on a card but then I had a 'What If'' moment.
What if I randomly stamp the angel all over a piece of card with clear embossing ink, emboss with Wow gold powder, stamp and emboss onto a smaller piece of card,  add an embossed sentiment  and then layer it all up onto a base card. Here is the resulting card.  I simply used yellow shimmer  and plain red cardstock. I'm pleased with the result which was easy to make and no strain on my arm.

Entering into the following challenges:
Aud Sentiments #219 Anything goes + a sentiment.
Moving Along With The Times #90  Add a sentiment.
Winter Wonderland # Anything goes christmas.
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #423 Christmas/quick and easy.
Merry Little Christmas #7 Anything goes.

    This is gorgeous and what makes it this way is that you embossed the image all over your card and then used the angel for your centre piece love the vibrant colour too hope it's not too cold where you are it's freezing here take care and enjoy your day xx

    Great use of your small stamp Valerie, it's a great idea to use it for the background as well as the focal image, the red and gold look fabulous together.
