Ornament Angel

Today I have a card using Whimsy and Stars Studio’s Ornament Angel digital stamp to share with you. 

 

2012-10-23 WSS Angel card WM

I wanted to play around with hexagons in my design.    I used the die to cut out the hexagons and also to emboss my kraft card stock.   I don’t know if it shows up too well in the photo.

I decided to paper piece the ornament.  One of my Spellbinders circle dies was the perfect size.  Since the cards seemed a little flat, I added a few more folded circles to the ornament to give it some dimension.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week!

 

Supplies:

  • Stamps:  Ornament Angel (digital stamp) from Whimsy and Stars Studio
  • Inks:  None
  • Papers:  Neenah Crest solar white CS, Close To My Heart Mistletoe paper pack, Papertrey kraft CS
  • Tools:  Sewing machine, Big Shot, Spellbinders oval & circle nestabilities, Die-namics hexagon dies, Copic markers
  • Embellishments:  Copic black multiliner, Sakura gold glitter pen, misc. twine & button
