The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace Stamp Set, along with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.

I am joining the TGIF Challenge even though I did not use pastels, do not have them, but made my own pastels using ink and a water painter.

For cutting and scoring instructions, you can go to Lisa Curcio’s diagram.  She shows a great diagram of the scoring & cutting.

1. Start with a card base of Basic White card stock, cut at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2.
2. Line up the top of the cardstock on the 5-1/2″ side at the 2-3/4″ mark. 
3. Cut from 1-1/4″ to 6- 1/8″ using the ruler on the bar on the trimmer. 
4. Turn the cardstock and score at 1-1/4″, 2″ 3-1/8″,  4-1/4″ all the way across the card stock, and, 6-1/8″ cut all to the cut line except the 4-1/4″

This is how the card looks once it has been cut and scored.

For the background of the large angel, I cup a piece of Whimsy & Wonder DSP 2-3/4″ x 2-1/2″ and a piece the same size from a panel of Basic White that I had embossed using the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder.  I had given the panel a color wash using Polished Pink ink and a Water Painter.  The gold trim is the leftover from cropping other images.  Makes for a nice trim.

The background pieces for the small angels are again Whimsy & Wonder DSP cut at 1-3/4″ x 2-1/2″.  Trees are punched from Basic White card stock using the Evergreen  Border Punch and adhered beside the small angels.

The angels are created using images from the Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace Stamp Set.  They are stamped on Basic White card stock with Versa Mark ink and Gold Embossing Powder sprinkled over the stamping and heat set using a heat tool.  The large angel and one of the small ones are then colored using a color wash made from Polished Pink ink and a water painter. The second small angel is colored using a color wash of  Misty Moonlight ink and a Water Painter.  They are popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut and popped on the card front.

The sentiment panel is matted on a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock and a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on the Basic White panel.  An angel is adhered to the bottom of the panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Whimsy & Wonder DSP applied to the envelope flap using liquid glue.
