Angels Three

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's crunch time here and there's not a lot of time for posting.
So I'll just do a little show and tell with this angel from STAMPlorations.
Did you know that the shop is open now through December 31st and this
sweet angel die is available at a great price.


The sentiment is Betterpress onto a smooshed background.  The angel was
die cut from matte gold foil.


This time the angel was cut from a piece of decorative paper with silver
foiled highlights.  Her head and horn as well as the sentiment were cut from
matte silver foil.  The background has some shimmer that you can see when
the light hits it.  Chunky gold and white Frantage heated from underneath make
a starry sky.


This one was cut from white and stamped with Encore gold then heat embossed
with gold.  Her wings, horn and halo are from gold foil.  I used an embossing pen with
gold embossing folder for hair.  She is placed on a Brusho background with splatters
for stars.

A gorgeous trio of angelic Christmas cards, Bonnie! You took care to keep her as the star of your cards, but I just love your backgrounds, too - especially this last one - Tom would spot a nebula or two here!

All three are gorgeous Bonnie and I love how you've "dressed" up each angel differently! All three backgrounds are fabulous too! Sweet, sweet post with your lovely angels!! Hugs. :0)

Love them! All 3 angels are awesome and unique. I love how you changed each one up in a different manner, yet they are all perfect!

This is such a sweet angel and looking good on all three cards Bonnie. I love the plain gold with that wonderful swirly sentiment over the pretty blue smooshed background, and then the dp used for the body and the silver for the trumpet and head which stands out brilliantly on the vibrant blue background, and lastly the beautiful gold embossing and the added embossed hair looks great. x

Three gorgeous cards! Love those beautiful blue backgrounds and the sweet angel die. My favourite is the third one - - I love the way you stamped and heat embossed on her robe to make it look like it's made out of patterned fabric.

Three gorgeous angelic cards Bonnie. Love how you have decorated them differently on each card and made different backgrounds too. I am drawn to the first one with the blue smooshed background and big scripted sentiment. Of course, you can't make a bad card with this sweet angel. Hugs.

I'm going from one to the other and still don't know which one I like best. They're all so pretty and beautifully done. Love the simplicity of the first with the gorgeous sentiment. The frantage makes the prettiest sparkles on the rich blue which appears to be glowing from the center. The last with the beautiful gold embossed stamping on her gown is elegant in the sweetest way. All wonderful!

Yes! All three cards are very beautiful. Well done and Merry Christmas to you, Bonnie.

A trio of loveliness, Bonnie! I like the metallics and the unique backgrounds you've given each angel!

Hark! The herald angels sing. Or in this case blow their horn. So gorgeous every one, Bonnie, both the angels and the sky that holds them.
