Three Little Angels

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday! Hope your week is off to a great start!  The skies are dark here and rumbling with thunder.  It's a good day to be inside!  In between my other chores, I finished a little Christmas card I had in the works.  It is for two challenges: the Lili of the Valley Monthly Challenge (make it festive) and the new Twisted Tuesday Challenge (Challenge: Christmas-themed project; Twist: make it CAS).

Here is my simple Christmas card:


This is about as CAS as it gets for me!  I am trying to be more conscious of the mail-ability of my holiday cards this year.  This one shouldn't be too bad.  I embossed my heavy base weight white card with the Cuttlebug Rebecca frame embossing folder.  The precious image is Three Little Angels from Lili of the Valley.  I love this stamp, which was a gift from my Outlawz teammie, Tress.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Gold Stickles to their wings and hairbands and Christmas White glitter to the clouds to make them shimmer.  I framed the image with Spellbinders Petite Ovals to which I added some pearl highlights with White Opal Liquid Pearls.  A few gold gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I always appreciate your visits!

Have a great evening and see you soon!

  15. This is really lovely, Carla. The CAS design is perfect. I love how you used embossing, tiny pearls and glitter to fancy it up. I know what you mean about considering the 'mailability' of Christmas cards. I see some designs online that are ultra-beautiful, but OMGoodness, how much does it cost to mail those things?
    Blessings on your day,
    Teresa

  17. There come a time when one particular image is meant for CAS, and this would be one of them. I love your design and how you made the image the focal point. When I went over to England recently I was smart enough to have LOTV paper packs sent to my host/hostess address before I arrived. Now I have everyone of their images to play with, albeit with the exception of their new Christmas line.
    Beautiful work girlie, Cheers :)Sandra

  18. Carla, Sooo adorable, just love these darling angels and the sparkle. I really understand what you mean when you talk about postage so if I can hand deliver will have all the fancy stuff but if I have to mail it will be CAS.
    Hugs,Pat
