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!

What darling little angels! Your cards are so pretty in monotone colors, which really sets off the elegance of the angels. The ornaments will look so sweet on your Christmas tree too! I agree that they would make darling tags as well. What a great PTI set!!
Oh, Marcia! they are so pretty, and you've found such a beautiful way to make them sing on your cards!
LOve your ornaments, too - bet you can't guess which one is my favorite!

Sweet angels, both on cards and as ornaments, Marcia!! You really made that die set shine!!
Ohhhh, angels! Love all of them, Marcia, the details, little details of scripty stamp and glitter make these all perfect!
What a delight to stick with you through this post, Marcia! I only wish I could join you in doing up these beautiful angels! I love both cards equally and those ornaments are beautiful and will look so nice on your Christmas tree!
Love your beautiful angel cards and those ornaments are so sweet. I like how you used the stencil in different colors before cutting them out - great idea. I saw Lin's idea and had to make one also. Will be making more.
I love a die that can do double duty and making cards AND ornaments is a great reason for me to buy that angel. Your wreaths are magnificent, Marcia, made even more so with the lovely angels at the center. Thanks for the inspiration and enabling, my friend. ;)
That is a pretty little angel and she looks wonderful on both of your cards, Marcia! That wreath is a wonderful backdrop for her. I like the fancy silver wings on your ornaments. Imagine the twinkle they'll create on your tree!
Oh, my goodness, Marcia! Your angel cards and ornaments are divine! The green card... be still my heart! The blue is gorgeous, too, and I can clearly see the script background in each photo. I'm smitten with the magnolia wreath and have been over there looking. I always say I can't have everything, but it's hard when I see such inspiration. What a beautiful angel set with so many possibilities. I hung on every word of your post. Thank you!
These are fantastic, Marcia! Now I need those angels!!
Your cards are gorgeous with the layered leafy wreath. I especially love the blending of the two greens on your first card. The angels are gorgeous backed by both gold and silver. Your angel ornaments are so special. Great work, my friend!! xx
These angels are so beautiful, Marcia. I just LOVE the white ones on the monochromatic backgrounds with all the detail of the sparkle and spatter. The ornaments are fabulous and wuld make great gifts. they will make great tags as well. Hark! I love them.
