The theme for week 27 on Facebook Sunday's with Santa is 'a card for a man' - I was going to make something completely different, but then I thought 'angels are for men too', so here is the card.
I've used a black card that I actually made for last Christmas - made a batch of these to sell in packs of 5 - this one was held back because there were a couple of marks of embossing where they shouldn't have been. I found it up and thought it was silly to waste it, so I've added some silver sparkly snowflakes so you can't see the couple of stray bits of embossing any more. I'm quite pleased with this because it's hard to see which is the stamped image and which are the sparkly stickers.
The lovely angel stamp had been inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder.
The backing paper is from the Authentique 'peaceul' 6 x 6 pad.
I'm showing this card as an inspiration for The glory of Christmas challenge 11: angel - please go and have a look and join in with your Christmas card featuring an angel - we'd love to see you there.
