For my card, I chose the sweet angel from the Earth Angel stamp set. The wings and the sentiment are made on vellum. I made a doily with my Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry die. The big wings are made with my Sizzix Layered Angel Wings die. The wings were distressed and I also put some crackle accents on them. You can also see a felt heart made with a Spellbinders die and the cute red tag is made with one the Fancy Tags Two die. One of the background is made with the Waltzingmouse Woodgrain set and the other one is with the Gingham & Co stamp set. I added different ribbons, lace, twine, a red button and a cute little tag with a heart from the Make Your Mark set.
Here's the great sketch made by Edna Morrisedie:

ReplyDeleteThis is amazing as always, Anne Elise!! I just love all of the layers and that felt heart behind the angel (why don't I have that set yet?!?) brings such warmth! Thank you so much for playing along with this last challenge at WMSC!!
ReplyDeleteAnne-Elise, I didn't know that WMS is cancelling their challenges. It's been ages since I played there because I do not have any of their stamps.
ReplyDeleteThis thank you card you made in their honor is super sweet! Happy New Year!
So sad to hear this challenge is ending but your card is fantastic Anne-Elise. I love the WMS angel stamp you used and the doily is a beautiful touch. Great color scheme too!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Anne-Elise - the vellum wings make her look so dainty and I love how you've added the sentiment
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet angel for a sweet thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love all the contrast of the textures here...especially the look of the vellum and the felt and the white juste string against the solid red band!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!

What a beauty! Just shows you, even the simplest of sketches can lead to spectacular cards. Love it, Jx
ReplyDeleteI like this card, it's just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also like the photos below! As for Christmas I would prefer the snow, but I can imagine you liked the warm sunny weather, because in Finland there will be snow for a long time in winter. Couldn't you send us some, because in Holland every day is grey and rainy....
