OWH World Cardmaking Day Card Hop



Thanks for joining the OWH Blog Hop today. This organization is near and dear to my heart because my birth father was a Korean Vet and we had family at the Pentagon on 9-11. Thank you to the families and members of the armed forces for the sacrifices you have made for our Country.




Supplies:
Paper and Cardstock: Best Creations Merry Christmas
Lace: Micheal's
Flower Soft: Poppy Red, Christmas Green
Embellishments: Hero Arts Red and Green Gemstones, Yellow Gemstones

Copics: R59, R46, R20,Y28, G28, E11, E34, E33, E81, W3
Stamp: Whiff of Joy Angel Delivering the Christmas Tree

Tip: I colored the Christmas Tree for the bottom layer. On the second layer I cut the tree out and colored it. I then applied the red gemstone. I attached the tree to the angel with foam tape. I used Glossy Accents on the tree and then applied the Christmas Green Flower Soft. I then used Flower Soft Red Poppy for the flower.
I have blog candy for the hop:) You can win a Hero Arts Merry Christmas Trees Stamp Set:

To win the candy please leave a comment by October 3! Following my blog will get you an extra entry but it is not necessary to win.

Have fun making cards today!

  34. Lee MaeOctober 1, 2011 at 3:59 PM

    Your card is beautiful! I love the idea of the pieced background. Your angel shows up so nicely against all of the color. I had to look at your card for awhile since you used my other favs (which I haven't used myself yet, but am very encouraged to do) - lace!! I use a lot of gems too, so I found those fabulous. Just a beautiful, lovely card. :)

    HI Elizabeth, I love the look of this card. The way the papers are layered it really makes it kind of look like a fabric card, :) YOu had visited my blog and asked what embossing folder I used on my Christmas tree card. I used the "Snow Burst" textured embossing folder from Stampin' UP! (I am an SU demo, :))

    My blog is www.reflectionssosweet.blogspot.com

    Happy Cardmaking, :)
