Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Inspiration

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The new Heartfelt Creations' Christmas Cheer Collection has got me singing carols in September, and we still had 100-degree+ days this week in Texas! This card features the Elegant Angels set, plus a set from last year's Christmas release. They all coordinate so nicely!

Instructions

CARD

Cut green cardstock to 4 1/2" x 12" and score at 6". Adhere a gold layer measuring 4 3/8" x 5 7/8" to the front of the card. Add a red layer measuring 3 7/8" x 5 3/8", and a white layer measuring 3 3/4" x 5 1/4".

SENTIMENT

Stamp the greeting in the lower left corner using Versamark ink, and emboss with gold powder.

IMAGES

Stamp the holly swirl in the upper left corner, and the angel on the right of the card in black ink. Color with COPIC markers. I used these colors: Berries: R37, R39, Leaves: G94, G99, Face: E000, R000, Hair: Y06, Gown: B0000. Color the harp with the gold pen, and embellish with the SPICA glitter pens (olive and lipstick).
