I started by heat embossing the larger angel in Gold, on Shimmery White card stock. The greeting was also Gold embossed, but on Vellum card stock.
The image was very subtly coloured with a Water Painter and Cherry Cobbler for her dress, So Saffron for her hair, Balmy Blue on the wings and Blushing Bride on her face and hand.
The background paper is from the new Harvest Meadow DSP and the card base is Evening Evergreen.
The image was then cut out using on of the Layered Circle Dies. The mat behind the image was cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock with the Encircled in Beauty Dies. The poinsettia and holly embellishments were cut using the Poinsettia Dies.
Around the edge of the Encircled in Beauty mat and the poinsettia and holly I applied Versamark ink randomly, directly from the ink pad. I then covered this with Heat and Stick Powder and then popped it quickly into my tub of Gilded Leafing. After a quick push down on the back of the items to make sure the Gilded Leafing is attached, I brushed off the excess with a dry paint brush.
I had a lovely time playing with this set, it's so easy to colour. For more Christmas inspiration the next hop on our blog hop is the very talented Cathy Proctor.
