Angels, Angels and more Angels! ...

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Hello!
Today is my Growing in Unity 2017, Day 2 show and tell!

I have a thing for Angels and Angel wings…
I was born in December, very close to Christmas and every year my mom has given me a special angel for my birthday. Some are small and some are large, like the life size brass angel wings she gave me for my 50th birthday! (They are AWESOME!) To this day I am always on the hunt for the Angels and wings that are different or have something special that separates them from standard mass produced pretty angels we tend to see in the stores.

Surprisingly, I don’t have a large collection of Angel stamps so when I saw this stamp set “Make Snow Angels” I dropped it right into my shopping cart! He is sooo cute with such a sweet expression on his face! Seriously, combined with the sentiment that comes with him, he is perfect anytime you want to create a pick-me-up card for someone special!

For this 5 x 7 card, I created a sparkly border with some glue and fine glitter. I also added glitter to the chipboard snowflakes and the image itself

Sadly I could not get a really good picture of the sparkly no matter how hard I tried! :O(


Supplies
  • Image/Sentiment “Make Snow Angels”
  • Alcohol markers
  • Card stock from The Paper Studio and Stampin Up!
  • Chipboard snowflakes from Close to My Heart
  • Design paper “Snowflakes” from Ever after Scrapbook Co.
  • Extra fine Glitter from Sulyn
  • India Ink from Memories

Adorable card! I can just imagine this little snowman waving his stick arms up and down trying to make his angel wings! I'll trust you on the glitter/shimmer issue as I have the same problem. Grr... oh well, we know it's there! TFS
