Still in 'Christmas mode' & this card uses an absolutely beautiful image by Sarah Burrier called 'Noon'. Now, anyone who knows me probably has a fair idea that I LOVE angels but this image is fabulous & I enjoyed every minute of colouring her with my Promarkers. Yes, "Noon" isn't ordinarily a Christmas image but I thought to myself, "Why not?" after all, those squirrels & chipmunks will need feeding & looking after in the winter months probably more so than at any other time of year so why not have my angel looking out for them & create a Christmas card? I have her looking down from her celestial view-point in the winter skies above as large snowflakes tumble down the right-hand side - though the ones opposite them are more controlled in their frame. All cut of course, using my Silhouette Cameo, in case you hadn't guessed already. LOL. Given a good dose of Stickles to make them shine & glisten, the snowflakes also have pearly centres from my bottle of Cosmic Shimmer.
The mat with the dp from Jak Heath, as well as the embossed background, were first distressed at the edges & then given a rippled edge using white acrylic paint. The sentiment is from Mudmaven & underlined with a satin ribbon. The mats were attached to the card using foam pads.
On the inside more snowflakes and this time the sentiment is from Lisa at Crafting Cottage.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Wow! and Wow! again. This card is beautiful. I love the layout on the outside, and you've also created a gorgeous interior as well. This completely "finishes" the card off and makes it just so perfect. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at Christmas Card Challenges. Just love it.

Phooey. She's a Florida Christmas angel. I recognize her. She is here to protect we seniors from mishaps, and to care for our sweet little animals. She dresses as we do, in sleeveless frocks, and she wears flip flops because that's the state recommended attire for seniors and angels. We seniors become the angels so we can stay here to take care of all the retirees who move down here. We are afforded special privileges that only angels can grant, too, and that is the ability to have Tine among us to show us how to create these breathtaking, magnificent marvels of art and grace. We are the blessed, known as the members of Silhouette Plus. And that's the truth. :-)
