'Angels Like You.'

Hi there Lovelies,

Wishing you a Very Happy Easter.   I do hope you are all safe and well.   Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoy your visit.

Whilst I was going through my boxes of stamps looking for a particular stamp,  I came across this angel stamp, which must have been amongst the first stamps I ever purchased so........of course I just had to use it again  lol!   I also remembered that I had a sentiment stamp which would be the perfect accompaniment to the angel stamp.   The angel stamp is by 'Anita'  and the sentiment stamp is by 'Only Words.'   they are both wooden backed rubber stamps.   (not sure if they are still available now.)    Some of you may possibly have these stamps in your craft stash.   I just love this angel and with the added sentiment of 'Thank you,' it would make a lovely card to send to someone who has been very kind and helpful to you.

Take an A4 piece of white card and trim half an inch from one of the long sides and fold in half portrait style, making a base card on which to work.

Take one of the sheets of the Lavinia SceneScapes cards from the packet and trim this down to five inches by five and a quarter inches.   Using a black pen, run it around all four edges of this piece of card. making a narrow black border which will show up  when it is fixed to the main white base card.

Stamp the angel onto the left-hand side of the background card, using a black ink pad. 

  Fix this card to the top half of the white base card.   Punch out a variety of different sized stars from some gold mirror card and glue them around the angel.   Stamp the angel three times onto some spare white card, using black ink.   Colour them with the T.H. Distress inks, I used Walnut Stain for her hair,  Fired Brick and  Wild Honey for her wings,  Tumbled Glass and Weathered Wood for her dress, Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive for her sleeveless jacket and for her skin,  I used well watered down Fired Brick.   Cut them out and glue one whole angel flat onto the original stamped image on the background card.    Next 3D the others onto the whole angel using sticky foam pads.

Using some spare white card, stamp the sentiment - 'Angels like you'.....onto it using a black ink pad.   Trim around the sentiment and edge with a black pen, as previously.   Fix this centrally at the bottom of the white base card using sticky foam pads, adding a large gold star to each side of the sentiment.

Stamp the 'Many Thanks' sentiment onto some white card in black ink, cut out and glue to the right-hand side, adding a small coloured heart (left over after cutting out the angels.)

 Below are a couple of photos taken at an angle to show the dimension of the card.   The above sentiment stamp was given free with a craft magazine some time ago - apologies I cannot remember which magazine...sorry.

That's all from me for the moment, thank you for stopping by my blog.   I will be back again soon with another card to share with you.   Take care of yourselves and have a lovely Easter weekend.
