I'll admit that I'm no angel. But I have been blessed to have many people come into my life who I consider to be "angels in disguise", or something like it. God has sent so many special people into my life at specific moments when I needed some extra love and encouragement. He sure does take care of us, doesn't He? I feel so blessed.
This card was created for one of those very special "angels" in my life. I always enjoy sending her cards to cheer her, and to remind her how very grateful I am to have her in my life. I used some old Restorations products by Crate Paper (patterned paper and border sticker), a vintage ivory doily, tiny pearl accent stickers, some Cotton Candy Baker's Twine, and then I stamped the angel and wings using a Papertrey Ink stamp set, and the sentiment using a stamp set from Michael's. I also used Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, and Spun Sugar.
That's all for today. I'll be posting again on Wednesday (tomorrow) with some BIG Design Team news. Yup, that's right.....I'm on another (stamping) Design Team starting this week, and I'm really excited about it. All the details will be in my post this Wednesday. I hope you will stop back by to hear all about it.
Thanks for visiting,
Karen
