I made this card for my dear husband who has to be away from me for 3 months in China. I was thrilled to get this little stamping angel from High Hopes. Thank you so much Tina! The sentiment that she's stamping, 'I Love You', is exactly what I want to say to him and of course I'm his stamping 'angel'! LOL
I coloured her with markers and a waterbrush, cut her out - that's where I used my scissors for the challenge - and popped her up on dimensionals. I used Stickles on her wings to give the sparkle spots some real sparkle!
The hearts are cut with a Cuttlebug die. I distressed around the squares with my grapefruit knife before I inked them up a bit. I did the same around the grey background as well. The paper for the squares and grey striped background is by Heart & Home Collectables Inc.
The sentiment is from Studio 9 Clear Stamps.
I used my white Signo and black ZIG Writer for the highlighting and stitching.
My hubby might see the card on SCS before it makes it to China. I've never mailed anything there before and I have no idea how long it'll take to get there. Just as long as it gets there before he returns home again!
