Christmas Blessings

Hi there,

this is the Christmas card that I created with a cute new digital stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs:

• color Gerda Steiner Designs Angel with Lights with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it
• add metallic gold PITT Artist Pen to the halo and the cord, white gel pen to the eyes, Glossy Accents to the light bulbs, Liquid Applique (white) to the cuffs of her dress and Stampendous Crystal Glitter Multi Ultra Fine to the stars on her dress
• I cut off the wings and replaced them with feathers
• create a background on Mix Media paper using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Broken China) and mist it with Perfect Pearls Mist (Heirloom Gold) and Distress Stain (Picket Pence) from a Mini Mister
• cut snowflakes from Elizabeth Craft Designs Shimmer Sheetz Gemstone Sampler Pack and add Pretty Pink Posh sequins (4mm Sparkling Clear)
• stamp the sentiment from Lili of the Valley Christmas Handwritten Phrases directly onto the background with Versamark and heat-emboss with metallic purple embossing powder 
• round the top right corner with a 1'' corner rounder

Here is a close-up of the lovely little angel:
