Wow! First of December already!!! This year has flown by! It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. I love this color combination as an alternative to traditional Christmas colors!
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
And I’ve had this idea in my head to use the detailed Christmas tree and snowflake from Christmas Lights Stamp Set as an angel and this was the perfect time!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder and added to the front of the base card.
- The tree from Christmas Lights stamp set was stamped with Versamark on Fresh Freesia cardstock and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder, then cut with the Twinkling Lights Dies.
- The snowflake from Christmas Lights stamp set was stamped with Balmy Blue Ink on Balmy Blue cardstock and punched with the Decorative Circle Punch, then cut in half for the angel wings. They were adhered behind the “dress”.
- The head was cut with the second to smallest Stitched Shapes circle die from Basic White and So Saffron cardstocks (sorry, I needed a natural hair color so added to the color combo). The So Saffron circle was hand-cut for hair and adhered to the Basic White circle. The face was hand drawn with the Basic Black Marker and cheeks with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends.
- The halo was cut with the smallest Stitched Shapes circle from Silver Foil and added behind the head.
- The Iridescent Trim was tied in a bow and added to the “neck” with a couple Mini Glue Dots.
- Merry Wishes from Window Wishes stamp set was stamped with Balmy Blue Ink on 1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White and ends trimmed at an angle.
