I made this card for several challenges. I used the sketch from MMSC27, Flourishes "Favorite Things" Challenge in which we were to take our inspiration from the words to the Sound of Music Song "My Favorite Things"... I thought of "girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes". It also is for Way to Use it 244 to add faux feel (texture). I embossed with a Cuttlebug Folder. It also fits the challenge at My Graffico, to use stitching. I used the Angel image from Our Daily Bread designs set "Angel" and the Poinsettia image from the Nov. released set "Luke 2:11". I heat embossed two of the poinsettias and the angel with Ranger Fine Detail SGold EP. I colored the angel with Prisma Pencils and blended with OFMS. I then painted her wings with Shimmerz Blingz "Gold Gllimmer" and her dress with "Angel Wings" Shimmerz. I used shimmery gold vellum and punched the lower edge with a Martha Stewart punch. I sewed a vine with my sewing machine and gold thread, then added blue half pearls by Memory Box. I painted Angel Wings Shimmerz on the raised part of my dry embossing to give the pattern a shimmer. I cut out two poinsettias, painted with Shimmerz Blingz and popped up the top layer. The gold satin ribbon is from my stash. I hope you enjoyed my card. The inside has a wonderful Scripture from the Angel set.

Grace this is a stunning creation once again!!! You have colored this angel image so beautifully!!!!
Love the shimmer on your angel, Grace! She looks like she is glowing!
Probably a new favorite for me of your creations!! Love it!!!
Dearest Grace,
I hope that you are really "taking in" these very accurate and true compliments from everyone. If you are just reading the comments start over and really absorb the meaning. I really want you to recieve all of this "love."
This angel is glorious. You manage to go deeper than what a piece of paper should hold. You use so many intricate details, so many different skills in one piece and obviously, you put so much love in what you do!
All of your projects are phenomenol. I love all of the delicate embellishments you use in your art.
I saw the trumpeter with the red background also. The gold in the paper shows up beautifully. The first thing I thought of was "In a blink of an eye."
Your natural, Godly beauty shows through your art, dear Grace!
