Good Morning...
Today's card is the first of my August Design Collective cards for lovely
I used one of the beautiful new Christmas stamps from the latest LOTV launch -
To colour the image, I had another fiddle with Distress Inks - I'm still not sure about them, (I love the artwork some of you lovely talented ladies create - but I need more practice I think before I am completely happy with the result).
I die cut papers from Lili of the Valley's Woodland Wishes collection to create the cloudy layers. The white card is embossed with a Die'sire embossing folder.
The layers are all raised slighty on foam tape - I was trying to add some cloudy depth for the stars to peep out from but the camera has n't quite captured the effect.
I added some die cut glittery stars and some sentiments from Lili of the Valley
Christmas Sentiment Tags. These were stamped and heat embossed in gold.
...and here we are - a Heavenly Angel wishing everyone a Heavenly Christmas.

I think you have done a mighty fine job with the DI's on that beautiful stamped image Sue and the lovely cloudy layout is sure to be CASEd everywhere!! I'd forgotten how gorgeous Woodland Wishes papers are too, must print off a batch!! xx
Aaaah simply gorgeous, i'm loving the wavy edging / clouds and all those stars, the Woodland Wishes papers are so gorgeous, i may now have to go and buy some !!, luv Sam x
I love this beautiful card. Gorgeous image, some of my fave papers and that puffy cloud die is a must have. I do admire some people's colouring with DIs but it is never as effective as Copic colouring in my opinion, sticking to my Copics as you can achieve more shading x
Beautiful card Sue, adorable image and I'm loving the colour scheme too!
This is such a pretty card Sue.... of the course the image is adorable, and I love how you used the puffy cloud die too with the embossed stars! Your colouring looks fabulous to me - (I'm rubbish with DI's so far - but I'll keep on trying)... and then those die cuts stars finish the card off perfectly!
Big hugs
