Front of Angelic Joy card |
Inside of Angelic Joy Card |
I stamped the angel on Crumb Cake cardstock in Soft Suede ink. I then distressed the edges using the tool in my cutting kit. I then sponged Soft Suede around the edges and lightly over the image. I layered the image on a piece of Deck the Halls DSP and then on a slightly larger layer of Always Artichoke (I distressed the edges of the Always Artichoke before adhering the other layers.) I then took a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and layered it behind a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Deck the Halls DSP. I tied a piece of Always Artichoke seam binding ribbon around these pieces and adhered it slightly off-centre. I then adhered my angel image using dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and punched it out using the modern label punch. I then distressed the edges and sponged with Soft Suede ink. I adhered the sentiment in the lower left corner using dimensionals. I added one of the Antique brads and two metallic brads below the angel image. I then adhered the whole thing to an Always Artichoke card base. For the inside, I stamped the poinsettia image from the Bells and Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede at the top of a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. I stamped the sentiment (from the Angelic Joy set) in Always Artichoke in the bottom right corner. I then distress the edges and sponged with Soft Suede ink. I adhered this piece inside the Always Artichoke card.
Not exactly a quick an easy card to make, but pretty and festive. Now I have to make a bunch more for my mom...she ordered 25 for herself for Christmas! At least she did it early enough that I might have a chance of getting them done in time!
Love the colours Leena! Can't wait to see it for our swap.
