Angels at Rainbow Lady's Challenge

Hello again, my second card of the day and this one is my DT card for Rainbow Lady's Challenge where the theme is Angels. I did make a paper angel but the pics were even more horrible than usual so I made this card instead.


I've used stamps from LaBlanche for this card. I have to thank our very own Rainbow Lady Cynthia for introducing me to La Blanche stamps, i'm totally hooked on them and even found some I'd had years and never inked up. Anyway i soon remedied that and used the gorgeous corner stamp on silk coated card. The main image is another LaBlanche stamp, again on silk card, die cut with nesties eyelet circles and lightly inked around the edges. I've used gold mirri card for matting and layering and added some black and gold ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Bearly Mine: Christmas no red or green
Cards and More: Monochomatic
Craft Room challenge: punches/die cuts
Crafty Boots: Christmas
Crafty Emma's Challenge: Traditional Christmas
Lexi's Creations: no red or green Christmas

Thanks for popping by

  2. this is a real stunner with the way you've used different stamps for the 4 corners. I've recently noticed LaBlanche stamps too & am intrigued. The way you've used gold to edge beautifully picks up the gold edging to your ribbon.
