I have used the Herald Angel image and copied it onto creme CS. I used this card with the window already in to and sponged around the edges of the outside of the card and the inside of the frame. I attached the image on the inside. I added a strip that had been punch with the SU Eyelet Border Punch and sponged and attached this to the inside of the red CS and attached Kaiser Half Gems.
I sponged around the image on the inside of the frame and used the Old World Flourishes from Layers of Color in distressing Ink to add that extra touch.
I had this sentiment from a RAK that I was sent from one of my Twisted Sisters Lesley (aka Marleygo) I am pretty sure it is Our Daily Bread Designs but will come back and confirm that as soon as I pop over there and check (Don't hold your breath I always get caught up when I go there...so much to see! LOL!!) I used a Nestibilities Ribbon Tag to cut out the sentiment and then sponged around the edges and threaded through some ribbon attaching this below the window on the card.
A flower that I picked up in a After Christmas Sale last year for 10 cents a packet of 10, was added to the top corner of the image. I had to trim it, cutting the flower down by half, but it worked well on this card, I attached the flower with a brad and added gems either side - you have to have bling at Christmas!! The final touch was the layered photo corners.
It sounds like a lot of work, but was so quick....this image and three others are available for you over at the Layers of Color so pop over there and get them
Thank you for coming by today - I love to see you have been, your comments are always so encouraging! If this post is a bit disjointed today - it is because I am tried - my day started at 4:50 as my DD2 was heading off to Sydney on a School Excursion, it is about 3 hours away and they needed an early start for their excursion out on Sydney Harbour - what a way to spend a day!! So I can feel myself winding down and y concentration going....ZZZZZzzz.......LOL! You can find me on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/
