Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!

Hello friends.  No challenges today...just wanted to play with a new set from this past release at PTI that's all about angels.  I have 2 cards to share with you using the Angelic Sentiments Die and then 3 angel ornaments made from the Build-An-Angel die set.

This card started with an Old Olive card base and then a layer of Old Olive that was die cut using PTI's Border Bling: Joy Frame.  I used Old Olive ink to darken up the edges of the frame and then attached to the card base.  Next I die cut two Magnolia Wreath (The Greetery) from white cardstock and ink blended them with Peeled Paint & Rustic Wilderness DOX inks.  I also added a bit of splattering with white & gold acrylic paints before off setting them (to make the wreath fuller) and attaching it to my card base.

 The angel was die cut from white and then die cut again from gold sparkle cardstock and placed behind the white one.  The JOY was also die cut from the same gold sparkle cardstock and comes with JOY frame set from PTI.  Really pleased with the way this one turned out!!

I basically copied my first card but used Boho Blue cardstock and ink on this 2nd card.  I did use a retired Script background stamp from SU! in the center of the JOY frame, but the wreath and angel covered most of it up.

You can see the script background a bit better in this close up.  I backed this 2nd angel with silver sparkly cardstock and also added foam squares behind her skirt for a bit of dimension and also curled up her white wings a bit so you could see the silver wings behind it.  The sentiment comes from PTI's Angelic Sentiments.  I think I like the green card better, but still like this blue one too.

Next up I created a trio of angel ornaments to hang on our Christmas tree using the Build-An-Angel die set after seeing the idea from Lin Brandyberry's post HERE.  I used SSS's Stylized Mandala Stencil on a piece of white cs cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and stenciled one piece in light pink, one in aqua, and one in light gray and then cut 2 angels from each piece so I could have a front and a back.  

I die cut the halo in silver glitter cs and also cut pieces of the glitter cs to go under the skirt and show through the die cut design.  The wings were die cut with silver mirror cs.

The die set comes with different angel wings and I used the ones that look like leaves (to me!) on this aqua angel.  These were so easy to make and I think I'm going to make a few more to add as tags to Christmas gifts.  Thanks so much for sticking with me on this looooong post and hope you all have a great day!!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
