Its a very special Lady from the Christmas Card Clubs Birthday today - so Happy Birthday to you Karen - I really hope you have a wonderful day and get thoroughly spoiled! Talking of the Christmas card Club - its time for another make and this time our theme is Angels - well I had many ideas for this one mostly involving LOTV stamps of which I have three suitable contenders - however, at the last minute my hand wandered into my crafty individuals draw and pulled out the stamps on this card:
Such a beautiful image - i do love this one and that Christmas background is making another appearance. Here's a closer view of the angel.
I think I need to use versafine next time I stamp it.
When I was in the crafty individuals draw in my attic I also came across a pad of paper so I made a second 'cheats' card - this is also along the theme of angels - just a bit of glue and it was good to go! Lol!
Its a great page - and I think makes a great card - no sentiment required!
I'd like to enter the first card into the following challenges:
SSSwedsimonsaysstampblog - AG
Fab n funkyfabnfunkychallenges - Christmas
CHNC extra craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge2- AG
CHNCcraftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge - sentimental
Hope you have a great Sunday - we have the staging rehersal for the girls dancing show next weekend. Thats after my run this morning - it should be an 8 miler - not sure how thats going to go down but I'll try my best!!!
Big hugs to you and thanks for visiting!

Wonderful theme this fortnight and I adore what you made, such a lovely stamp that! The other card is very effective too, even if it was quick, it still looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteClever you to make a card from one of the pages from their image books.
ReplyDeleteThe other card is also so lovely.
I am starting to see many Christmas related posts, maybe this is the universe telling me I need to start NOW on my Christmas cards/tags/gifts!

Love black and white, great card!
ReplyDeleteRachel, what a lovely vintage look on your black & white card. That graphic holiday background was wonderful with the lovely LOTV image. Liked #2 as well, and that reminded me I have some G45 paper with the small angel heads on it...completely forgotten! Two beautiful cards, and TFS. Hugs
