Each Christmas it seems a particular theme stand out to me. This year it was the miraculous appearance of the angel to the shepherds and the heavenly host singing praises to the King. I thought the beautiful 18th century hymn by Charles Wesley,
Hark the Herald Angels Sing, would be the perfect starting point for my card inspiration.
I created my own Designer Series Paper in My Digital Studio. I took the lyrics for
Hark the Herald Angels Sing and used the font called "Jefferson" (for 18th century appeal) which I downloaded from Google fonts. I printed it on Very Vanilla card stock and used it as the back ground for my angel.
- The angel is cut using my Silhouette Cameo E-cutter (maybe you'll get one for Christmas!)
- The angel layer is embossed with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder and daubed with Champagne Shimmer Paint (sadly, discontinued.)
- The sentiment (Christmas Messages stamp set) is embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and cut with the Deco Framelits
