Hark the herald angels sing


Sometimes you receive a Christmas card that is just crying out to be upcycled, so this was a DL sideways opening card with the front matted on to the spotty paper to create an A5 card, adding the sentiments created on my dymo letratag.



There was another angel as the card was opened, so I cut around this and added to the Kaisercraft paper adding the sentiment oval 'Wishing you Peace, Joy and Love' and mounting on to a scalloped edged card blank.



These are for:

Sparkles Christmas 116: festive things with wings
Krafty chicks 524: Christmas
Crafty cardmakers 262: things with wings
Di's digi: winged and/or tailed things
