Steampunk Angel

Happy New Year's Eve Eve! I wonder how many millions of resolutions are being thought about right now? :) I'm mulling over a few.......

Today's card is another Christmas one. I made this for my niece.




Ingredients:





  • Easel card folded from 6x6 white, scalloped edge cardstock


  • Blue & silver mirri card


  • Dress & crown - Kanban 'Vivienne' stamp set


  • Wings - Tim Holtz


  • Spellbinders Nestabilities label & scalloped circle dies


  • Ranger embossing tinsel


  • Promarkers


  • Versamark & gold embossing powder


I stamped the dress on to white cardstock with Versamark, before sprinkling gold EP over it & heat setting, then colouring with Promarkers. The wings were gold embossed too & after cutting them out, I scribbled over them with a Versamark pen, sprinkled over the embossing tinsel & heat set.



Adding the blue ruffled ribbon gave a little texture to the front of the card & the sparkling snowflakes & gems from my stash give the card some Christmas bling.





I tweeted a pic of this card to one of my crafting sheroes, Dawn Bibby, earlier today & she gave it her seal of approval. Which meant a lot, as she is responsible for me getting into this cardmaking lark in the first place.



You may have noticed a new button on my sidebar. I signed up today for Effy's Book of Days on her Wild Precious Life site. I have promised myself that I will start art journalling in 2012 & I think Effy's project is going to be ideal.



I have one more Christmas card to share with you, so I shall return tomorrow. Until then, thanks for looking & keep crafting.



Love & light.
