Raindrops are like fairy whispers

This card is for Diva coffee break sketch 183:


The fairy image and sentiment (it says: raindrops are like fairy whispers - I hope the silver gems look a bit like raindrops) are from Hunkydory fairy flutterbyes collection. The main background paper is BG porcelain and the diagonal pieces from BG lemonade.

Awww ... little angels

For this Christmas card I've used the sketch on Cas-tastic 10:

I used a picture of girl angels from Art Freebies. The background card is black Stardream and the ripped sentiment paper is vellum, with just a tiny piece of scalloped PM 'a Christmas carol' running down the side, with the addition of the stitched ribbon and a sentiment added.

This is another card for this month's 25th club on BF forum, where the subject is 'angels' - I've now done six cards for this - another four to do.
