Angels are the theme at Crafty Creations today!
I had this tiny angel from Cornish Heritage Farms that I wanted to use and I thought it worked well with this tree from Stampin’ Up. I used an old olive cardstock base and this vintage style dp from my friend Peggy. I think it’s by Kaiser kraft. The pine cone boughs are cut with the cricut and the Joys of the Season cartridge. There is a dusting of dazzling diamond glitter on the wings of the angel and the boughs of the tree. I stamped the background trees by inking and stamping off once on a scrap paper, then stamping again my cardstock. The middle tree is not stamped off so it appears slightly darker than the other two. All the edges are sponged with crushed olive Distress Ranger ink.
Thanks so much for stopping by! It’s such a busy time of year; shopping, wrapping, decorating and baking and my boys are getting so very excited for Christmas! Last night we went to see my 9 yr old perform in his first school play. He was just grinning ear to ear when he saw us sitting in the front row; my husband went early to hold us seats! 🙂 We were so proud of him and you could tell he was very proud of himself too, as he should be! We had to continue the “party” when we got home, as there was so much excitement in the air after the multicultural Holiday songs and dancing! The boys were bouncing off the walls, but in a good way! These are the moments to cherish!!
This is lovely, great ribbon so shimmery to go with the trees. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
