Angel

Good evening

My card today is an order from an old friend.  She wanted a 40th Birthday card for a friend who likes angels.  Her favourite colour is pink.  The digital stamp is called Angel Portrait from Sassy Studio Designs and I have coloured her using ProMarkers.

White card stock

Yellow card stock

Double Sided Adhesive sheets

Crafters Companion Dottie embossing folder

Crafters Companion Vintage Floral embossing folder

Tonic Celtic Dream Layering die set

Up Up And Away

Good evening

I think I'm going to give up trying to prove myself at work.  It would seem that being a young yes man overrules experience, so from now on, I'm going to continue to do the fantastic job that my colleagues and myself do, but not put in any extra.

That's my little moan for today, now onto the card.  This one is for a male, but I have kept to bright cheery colours.  The digital stamp is from Meljen's Design who, unfortunately, has stopped producing digital stamps.  I have coloured it in using ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Blue card stock

Striped digital paper

Crafters Companion Clouds embossing folder

Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress ink pad
