A quick card for today's challenge from Jeanne. DH is working on his motorbike and that gave me a grace period...
I used Anne's No Iron Resist technique, but first of all I stamped two sentiments from Unity and stars on my base. Then I used scrunched up wax paper and Versamark, embossed it with clear EP and wiped the whole thing with Salty Ocean. Wiped it clean and repeated the process, this time using Chipped Sapphire. After all that it came out a little dark, so I added some gesso very thinly. I added some sprinkles of Metallic Seasonings (chunky EP) and edged it with copper simply because my gold was on my desk and the copper was where it should have been.
The angel is die-cut from an old failed background, it was an IO backgrounder embossed in gold and coloured with watercolours. I used it for the words, too. The swirly inset in the angel, I coated it with Versamark and embossed it with Iridescent Ice. It looks better in real life - it's getting dark earlier these days and harder to take evening photographs.

Love how you used the EP resist on that gorgeous blue BG. The copper looks much more interesting and unexpected than gold would have, so I think that jar of copper was where it was meant to be. And it's always a riot when people say they used a "failed" or "rejected" BG for a die-cut, since that angel is a absolute and complete success! Lovely card!

No need to tell you how much I love your angel and words!! Gorgeous!! Sabrina your background is incredible, I love the depth of colour and texture. I bet this looks even more special in real life. As always, I love your signature border.
