Stampin with Shirley G

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace and For Unto Us Stamp Sets, along with the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder.

I am playing along with the Creative Creases Challenge for today.

The card base is Basic White card stock as is the Merry Melody 3-D Embossed panel.  This is a step card.  The embossed panels have strip of Gold Foil adhered down the side.

The angels from the Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace Stamp Set are stamped with Versa Mark then embossed using Stampin’ Up! Gold Embossing Powder.  They are colored using Polished Pink and Balmy Blue ink and a Water Painter.   I love doing watercolor.  After coloring they are popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  

I used watercolor pencils to color the bird, holly in the little angel’s hand, her head wreath, and the faces and arms.  To give a little shadow to the angel wings, I used a really water down Balmy Blue ink, so there is just the faintest color.  Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front. A star is cropped from Gold Foil paper.  The greeting from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink, fussy cut and popped on a Gold Foil background.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. The little angel from the Angels of Peace Stamp Set is stamped in Gold ink.  The panel has a Gold Foil strip adhered down the left side.

A medium while envelope gets the envelope flap embossed using the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder.
