Bling Angels

The challenge over at Winter Wonderland this week is Glittery Angels and at Christmas Stamping it is to bling it up.  I've made so many cards using red, white and blue that I have decided to go with a different colour combination. I also didn't want to use predictable Christmas colours, so here I go with greens & blues. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the glittering angel, I used a Brilliance inkpad and stardust embossing powder on her. I also edged each of the matts with stickles. I have often said we need a camera that shows the glitter, this one really sparkles, even the green card base is pearlesent.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme.
