Joy to the World!
This card features this gorgeous angel and sentimentfrom the set entitled Rejoice by Flourishes, which is being released today!!! At last!!! She has been long awaited!!! This same set has a total of 12 stamps, one of which is that gorgeous, large Rejoice with the holly that I used last week. Just love the stamps in this new set — so wonderful for the approaching holiday season!!! The Shimmer White and Brushed Metallic Gold papers thatI used are also available at Flourishes — such perfect compliments for this beautiful angel!!!
The angel was stamped onto Shimmer White with Black Stazon and watercolored with reinkers and an aquapainter. The horn, her wings, the stars by her handand the trim near her skirt hem are all highlighted in gold with a Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen. It looks so gorgeous and shimmery IRL, but it isn’t showing at all in the photo — sorry! The stars are punched from the same metallic gold paper with the new SU star punch with gold brads in the center, holding them to the card. Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware by SU is attached to the sentiment and holds a bow. SU Mini Glue Dots do a great job holding all the bow tails in place!!! The black was added for definition and to give it a little POP!!! This is a large card — 7.5″ x 5.5″. Thanks much for looking!
