In my continual quest to find new and different ways to use my Ornament punch, here are two cards featuring Angel Ornaments using the Ornament punch. The cards are designed so the angels can be removed and hung on your Christmas Tree. These were so fun to make and are really, really cute! I am going to send one to one of my nieces who lives out of town that we may not see this holiday. Hmmmm...which one should I send? You know how hard it is for me to part with my cards! Details are below the pictures.
Both angels use the leftover embossed vellum (from the Blush Blossom butterfly card) punched with the Ornament punch for the wings. I used the 1" circle punch for the hair and cut a small slit with my craft knife to insert the 3/4" circle punched head. The halos are the 1 1/4" circle punched with the 1 3/8" circle. For the face, I just used Stampin'Write markers and a Q-tip with a little bit of Pretty in Pink ink for the rosy cheeks. The golden angel has a Finial Press embossed Whisper White dress (put the CS at the edge of the folder) and the wings and dress have been highlighted with Shimmer paint - Champagne Mist on the wings and Frost White on the dress. The rim is cut from Brushed Gold CS.
The red angel's dress is embossed with the Petals a Plenty folder and then I daubed on Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to give it some pop. The card base is embossed with the Finial Press folder with the card turned so that only the middle section is embossed and then I defined the edge using my bone folder to score. I added an edge of Old Olive CS and grosgrain ribbon to make it really stand out.
The Ornament punch is in the Holiday Mini and is only available until January 4 so hurry!!
