Holy Light.

Hello again, crafty bloggers.

I'm back today with another shaped Christmas card.

This time featuring another of the gorgeous new stamps from Lili Of The Valley.

This gorgeous angel is called Holy Light.

 

  I have made the card base with 300gsm white Conqueror card and cut the shape out with  GoKreate large frilly frames #2.

The gorgeous papers are called Frosty Christmas from Lili Of The Valley.

I have lightly sanded the edges of the papers.

I have used Neenah cardstock to cut out a Spellbinders floral oval and stamped Holy Light onto it with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink.

I used Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink around the edges of the floral oval frame.

I have coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and sprinkled some Fran~tage white shabby embossing enamel from Live & Love Crafts around it.

The doily is from Ebay and the beautiful lace is from The Ribbon Girl

The metal filigree corner is from Wild Orchid Crafts I have frantaged it with shabby white embossing enamel.

The sentiment is also from Lili Of The Valley I have stamped it onto Neenah cardstock with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink and inked around the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink.

I cut a small Spellbinders scalloped circle with the Frosty Christmas papers and adhered the circular sentiment onto it.

 

 

The angel wings are Magnolia Doohickey.

I inked around the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink and coated the wings with Ranger Glossy Accents. I then sprinkled the wings with Twinklets Diamond Dust from Live & Love Crafts and left it to dry.

I adhered a 15mm pale blue rose to the centre.

 

 

For the flower arrangement I have used a 25mm rose and 15mm white roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. The 20mm dusky blue roses, and Kort & Godt white Chrysanthemums all from

The Ribbon Girl.

I punched out a few woodland branches with a Martha Stewart punch, inked the edges with

"Tea Dye" distress ink and placed them between the flowers.

 I have coated the flowers with Snow ~ Tex from Live & Love Crafts.

 

 

Inside the card has been decorated with Frosty Christmas paper and a GoKreate frilly frame.

I have added ArtDeco Glamour Dust to her wings, candle light, stars and snow on the ground.

I only used two of the poinsettia leaves.

 Live & Love Crafts.

Tilda With Pigling And A Drawer Easel Card.

Good afternoon, crafty blogger's.

I have made a drawer easel card featuring Tilda With Pigling.

I made a few of these cards last year for a friend so I thought I would make another one. This time for Christmas which won't be very long now and I love it.
 

I found the tutorial for the drawer easel card in Cardmaking & Papercraft last year.

The tutorial is by Dawny P.

 

There are a lot of pictures for this creation because one shot just wasn't enough. Lol!

Here we go................

 

 

 

 

I have made the drawer easel card with 300gsm white Conqueror card.

 

I have stamped Tilda With Pigling onto Neenah card with Memento "Toffee Crunch" ink and cut the image out with Spellbinders Decorative Labels One.

I have coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and inked around the frame with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink. I have also frantaged around the image with shabby white embossing enamel.

The Frantage is from Live & Love Crafts.

The gorgeous papers are Maja Design "It's Christmas Time" from Dies To Die For.

I have inked the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz "Tea Dye" distress ink and matted them onto Woodware recycled card.

The Joy Crafts Noor Design Winter Wishes die cuts around the top and sides of the card have been frantaged with shabby white embossing enamel. I have added 5mm white pearls to each of the snowflake centres

The 5mm white pearls and pretty lace are from The Ribbon Girl.

The coloured image has been adhered with sticky pads and placed onto a piece of cheesecloth.

The cheesecloth is from Ebay.

The die cuts that I have frantaged with shabby white embossing enamel and used on the card are Doohickey snowflakes, Cheery Lynn Ivy flourish corner and La-La Land heart fence.

For the flower arrangement I have used a 25mm green rose, 20mm white roses, 15mm red roses and white gypsophilia. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. In between the arrangement I have placed a Doohickey heart swirl and a few Martha Stewart woodland branches. The swirl and branches have been inked around the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink.

The snowflake charm is from The Ribbon Girl. I have covered it with Snow~Tex and added a white 5mm pearl to the centre.

The metal corner is from Wild Orchid Crafts. I have frantaged it with shabby white embossing enamel.

The sentiment is computer generated.

I have cut the sentiment out with a smaller Spellbinders decorative label and matted it onto the next size up with recycled card. Both have been inked around the edges with "Tea Dye" distress ink

 

 

Inside the drawer has been decorated with Maja Design "It's Christmas Time" papers and a Doohickey snowflake.

The wooden button on the drawer is from Fantastic Ribbons.

I have frantaged the button with shabby white embossing enamel and used a length of green embroidery thread to secure it to the drawer.

 

 

Here is the Drawer Easel Card closed.
