This card is now in the hands of Lisa and John, the guests of honor at this weeks Teaparty. For their story and to play along visit MMTPT286: MMTPT286 ~January 21, 2014~ Heroes and Angels by momof5sons at Splitcoaststampers
I needed a lot of inspiration for this card, so thanks to Janelle and Audrie for your help!
The first design seed combination that I saw was a church and a palette that would work well for my theme: http://design-seeds.com/index.php/ho...tal-vacation33 I Inked the Christmas Angel in Versamark, Primrose, Coral and Pink, then used Q-tips to remove the ink over the trumpet part of the image. Stamped on Marina, then heat embossed with holographic EP. The multiple colors with the EP really give a holographic effect. (The EP part was inspired by Karen Barber and her travails with last weeks color challenge card) Matted the main image and debossed panel with Kioshi onto a plum panel. Fashioned the heart by gluing microbeads on the heart then when dry painting them with three shades of purple acrylic paint (lightened with white). PT - 1
Thanks Janelle, Audrie and Karen for helping me to bring this card to fruition. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Beautiful card, Marie. I especially like your faint angel which looks like she is sparkling. The heart and roses seem so appropriate for your sympathy card.

The angel turned out beautifully! As did your card. Certain to bring comfort to the grieving family.

Love that "holographic look" you achieved using multiple colors - makes your angel stand out beautifully on the triangular panels. I love that you added 3 flowers with the heart - like the three of them sending love to Leanne to their 'angel'. What a comforting card!!
