Beautiful Angels

When I first saw this swap I thought of using my beautiful Angel stamp but, let's face it, I am no stamper!!!  
I should practise more  - I KNOW!  
So I decided to go decoupage .........


I used a paper towel for the background and used some Brushos - just 'cause I love to see the patterns that form.  This time I sprayed the powders and left them to dry.
The Angel is a free download which I fussy cut and then added a glue glaze.  Once both pieces had dried I fixed them together and attached to a card base.

I printed this old image out onto tissue paper - I will rephrase that - I attempted to print, no matter how I tried my printer was having none of it!!  In the end I used a very thin paper usually kept for inserts and then I crumpled it into a tiny ball.  I used pearl sprays in pink and white and then when dry added the Brushos in green.  Once the background was dry I unrolled the angel paper and partially straightened it out, still leaving in some of the creases.  I used a clear liquid glue to attach the paper to the card and then glazed over the whole card, it took a g e s to dry!!  I love the way the background colours show through.


This angel was found in one of my folder so I fussy cut the image and put to one side.  I used blue Brushos on the base card, sprayed with water and place a paper towel over to pick up the excess water.  When it was dry I added the angel.  Not too sure about this .......


The background for this card is made using Fresco paints and pearl spray.  I cut out this angel and attached to the pink background.  I pencilled in a few yellow shadow lines to her dress, which don't really show up in the photo and coloured her face and hair.  I added Stickles to her wings and then outlined her hair with gold Stickles.

I decided to have another try at the angel stamp - several in fact!!!
This one I am happy with and thought I would send this as an extra surprise.
Once I had stamped in black and embossed in clear, I added some colour with my watercolours.  
I then added some old gold Stickles to her lamp and halo and dress details.


Very pleased with this one I am, very pleased. 


You may notice that there are no photos of the bin ........
