Angelic Joy and Deck The Halls Designer Series Paper

I was asked to re-create the Angelic Joy card from page 23 of the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalogue for an upcoming class.  I did not want to case it directly, but wanted to jazz it up just a bit.  Here is what I came up with  ... ... ...

I did the ribbon a bit different, the bow is sideways and I added a wonderful Stampin' Up! Vintage Brad to it. Then I spritzed the 2x4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.  The Angel I stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock with Basic Black ink, then hit it with the heat gun to set the ink.  Then I took my Aqua Pen and Always Artichoke and Soft Suede Classic Ink Pads and did a bit of colouring.  Her robe is Always Artichoke and her hair is Soft Suede.  This colouring worked really well on the Very Vanilla cardstock as I did not use a lot of water.  I think it makes a soft and elegant statement!  The background paper is two of the Deck The Halls designs, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this awesome paper.  The cardbase is Cherry Cobbler but you can't see it.
Here is an upclose picture of the stamped and coloured image and you can see some of the Gold Glow shimmer behind her ... ... ...

Thanks for visiting, and Happy Stampin'!!!
