I haave had a bit of a crafty morning, and having got a couple of DT cards done and dusted I thought i would have a go at a CAS stamped and coloured image Christmas card. Still having a bit of a play around with what will be this year's Christmas theme!! Anyway I stamped this adorable angel onto my card blank and coloured her with my pens. I then embossed the circle round it , and stamped the sentiment, adding just a couple of teeny gems. I resisted the need to stickle the angel within an inch of her life or add more bling. Finally some red gingham to finish - I have a roll of this and some matching dark olive green thanks to one of my neighbours who saw it and thought of me - crafty talk in the playground does pay off LOL!!! Its a bit wider than the ribbon I usually go for, but perfect for Christmas.
Supplies:
Sentiment: SU
Papers:
Embellishments: adhesive backed gems
Tools: Cuttlebug, spellbiners circle die set

Aw, this is sweet! With the embossed circle and ribbon you've created an illusion of a Christmas bauble - very nice - and the sentiment is so decorative!
Lovely CAS card. Such a sweet little angel and I love the red bow too.

Your image is just beautiful. I really LOVE her. I also like the embossed circle. Very nice! Thanks so much for playing along at ATS&M! xx
Love it Cathy....the embossed circle really makes the image pop out. Great sentiment and of course it wouldn't be Christmas without some mighty fine gingham ribbon.
Hugs Erika.
