* Crafts Galore Encore: Cloud Angel

Hello!

We've had a run of beautiful, warm, sun-shiney days here in the NW England! The trees are blossoming, the daffodils are out, the grass is growing and it feels like spring has sprung!

This month at Crafts Galore Encore we have a new challenge and the challenge is always Anything Goes. We are delighted to be sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps who are offering a generous $12 gift code to our challenge winner.

Here is my DT card:

I used Kids Bella Cloud Angel and cut it using a stitched rectangle die. I coloured the image with Copics and added spots of Stickles Crystal glitter to the angel's wings, the clouds and the sky.

I made the square background by blending Distress Oxides in Victorian Velvet with  Seedless Preserves around the edges. The decorative square shape was made by the smoosh, dab, dry Distress Oxide technique and cut with a die. The outer edge was inked in a darker Dusty Concord Distress Oxide I layered the two backgrounds with paper doilies and attached them with foam tape. The image was placed on top also on foam tape for dimension. 
I added a heart border to the bottom of the image, inking the edges to make them more prominent, and a banner die with the sentiment to the top. Some lavender pearls finish off the card.

Many thanks to Jodie at Bugaboo stamps for generously sponsoring this challenge. We hope you'll pop over to the shop and see the hundreds of wonderful stamps on sale.

Please pop to over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs.

We'd love to see your creations. 

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
