Lots of angels

Good Morning everyone

Months ago I bought a die set in a sale from Tonic studios to build a shadow box, when it arrived it was dinky...after playing around I worked out I could glue it together in a different way and came up with this fancy fold.  The holey lacy die cut panel makes a lovely background with some patterned paper behind and I added a little die cut angel to finish.

Approx size 8x8cm (3.25x3.25")   Showing it stood up.  I used the same paper for the front and back panels.  Here I used copper mirri card for the angel and die cut sentiment and added copper stickles glitter glue dots to the front for some Christmas bling. 

This shows how i joined them together using one of the side panel dies...by having 2 panels it gave more room and a place to add a little sentiment and making it more interesting than a dinky card.

and it folds flat to go in an envelope

I used more patterned paper on the very back and stamped a greeting for a place to write our message

***

Version 2 here i used copper satin card for the Angel and sentiment

Version 3 using green glitter card

and 2 more versions, one using green satin card and one pink mirri card.  A great way to use papers that are a bit too busy, by adding the white die cuts over the top its toned them down.  

Typing this up I realised I didn't know the collective name for a group of Angels -  after searching the web Im none the wiser - there is a choice of Choir, Host, Pinion, Flight or Legion..........anyway I made a dozen Angel cards - all different in colours and ideal for using up snippets of papers and luxury glitter/mirror card off cuts.

Items Used:

Tonic studios die set 'Designers Choice' 4278e (spring shadow box)

Echo Park Angel die

Sue wilson sentiment die

Spellbinders labels 4 die

Various patterned papers

Mirror, satin & glitter card scraps

CraftUk ltd white linen card

CAS Christmas

Good Morning all, i hope you had a good weekend.

Time for the last challenge of the year over at Make My Monday

The theme for the next 2 weeks is

CAS CHRISTMAS

So Clean & Simple designs

A6 white card blank.  Ive gone with a completely flat one layer design, again making use of a die that cuts into the card so adds extra interest and depth.  I added a coloured insert to contrast with the ink i used. 

I first die cut the snowflake burst into the cardbase to the right side.  I then used purple wink of stella pens and the wet into wet technique around the snowflakes.  Once dry i added a white die cut angel.  A pale teal patterned paper as the insert to peak through the snowflakes, i used a strip of this paper on the front left edge with a strip of card coloured with the same wink of stella pens just to tie all the colours & design together. 

I found this tiny joy to the world sentiment stamp from Penny Black in my stash which was the perfect fit for the bottom right corner. 

A close up, you can see the teal inside peeking through, just about making out some of the sparkle.  The Echo Park Angel die is the perfect size for the middle of the memory box snowflake burst die.

2 tones of blue wink of stella pens, sadly the photos don't pick up the amazing sparkle they give.  And yellow insert

Showing the yellow shining through

orange/red version.

Close up, you can just see the sparkle.
