I really liked the layout for yesterday’s sketch challenge on Splitcoast.
I knew right away I wanted to use the Angel from Holy Triptych again. I love that stamp.
I also knew I would have to make the card bigger to fit the Angel on it.
I stamped the angel on Shimmery White with Black Stazon and colored her in with Aqua painter and Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranate and River Rock Classic inks.
I added Dazzling Diamond glitter on the wings with help of my glue pen. (Click on the image to view it larger. You will be able to see the glitter then.)
I cut the cardstock down to 2 1/8″ x 3 1/8″, used the ticket corner punch on all four corners and layered it on a 1/4″ bigger, corner punched piece of black cardstock.
The next layer is a 4″ square of Holiday Harmony Designer paper that was ticket corner punched and layered on a 4 1/4″ piece of Basic Black cardstock. I used the All in a Row Argyle to add Faux Stitching , adhered a large black Photo Corner on the top right secured it with gold brads. I also added gold brads in each of the three remaining corners.
The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. The next layer is a 5″ square of Holiday Harmony paper. It was ticket corner punched and faux stitching was added.
This one was very quick card. I think I just have to break down and buy several packs of this paper and then make different Christmas cards with this set and the paper, so I can use all of the paper.

I really love the colors you used, Beate…very bright and seasonal. Normally when I think of this set I think of golds, greens, and blues..but the colors you used put the *spirit* in holiday spirit!! Love it.
That is just stunning. I love the colors and the placement of the brads. I especially love the ribbon. Amazing!
