Hello everyone!

Hope you’re enjoying the sun and warmth and beautiful weather. But well, we crafters are always a bit ahead of time. Because of this – and maybe also to cool my mind down a bit – I made a christmas card to share with you as my first project today.

I went with some icy colors – I always find an excuse to use blues LOL – and the beautiful Wings V63 here. I adore angels and wings and when I saw this stamp I knew it was a must-have.

I stamped the wings once on the paper I usually use to color on and then colored them in with Copics. I used blue chalks – light and dark – around the wings for a sky-ish background. Then I stamped the wings again onto Vellum and heat embossed them using silver embossing powder. Those were cut out around the edges and attached only in the middle so I was able to bend them up, creating a 3 dimensional look.

I also added some silver lace and a white bow between the wings, just as an extra eye catcher.

I then stamped the “merry christmas” saying from the German Christmas Lyrics V721, cut them apart and added them as two little banners next to the wings.

I used some stars – cut from paper and also some clay ones -, cheesecloth and a doily as decorations. I also added a few feathers because the go so perfectly with the wings.

Well, looking at this card makes me wish it was christmas already. So, let’s enjoy the summer as long as it’s here, and dream of christmas in our sleep. Have a happy day everyone, and don’t forget to pop back later for my second project!
