Lots of Christmas angels...

I found these sheets of ready coloured die cut images by Lili of the Valley, I bought them last year but only just uncovered them, they are perfect for quick cards. I used 4 1/2" scalloped card bases from Craftwork Cards, and simply folded the front in half and scored to make a quick easel card. 



I really like the LOTV images, so sweet, and this next one is a favourite....

 I added some sprinkles of Frantage embossing powder to add a snowy look, and there is some glitter on there as well. Lots of questions about Frantage, it is a very coarse embossing powder by Stampendous. In the US you can buy it in Jo-Ann's. I rather like the effect of sprinkling, or putting little heaps of it on a project and heating it from underneath so that the powder doesn't fly away... 


They have bought out a range of glitters as well, they can be mixed with the frantage embossing stuff and heated, but here I just used a quickie  glue stick and sprinkled the coarse glitter onto the angel...

Our community garage sale was a huge success, although it seemed like a very long day. It started off really cold, but the weather was gorgeous once the sun shone, perfect weather to sit on a camping chair for six hours listening to guys trying to haggle over the cost of a dozen golf balls for a couple of bucks! I sold a lot of crafty stuff so the garage looks a bit tidier and emptier now, although not much - it would take more than a garage sale to make a significant inroad into that lot!
