Christmas Angel Card with Galaxy Sky for Adornit

Christmas is just a handful of days away, and I'm still making Christmas cards.  Today, I'm coloring up a galaxy night sky on this lovely paintable image from Adornit, featuring the Season's Greetings collection, designed by Lindsay Ostrom.

Adornit Art Play Paintables Seasons Greetings

I love coloring with the cake paints.  This background was so easy to create, simply by dipping your wet waterbrush into the cake paint and swipe random sections of color.  I started with the dark blue's and purples, then added some red and black.  A white gel pen comes in handy for "dotting" stars in the sky.  Just make sure your painted background is dry, first.  The artistic paintables paper is designed to accept many mediums of color.  I've even used waterbased markers and watercolor pencils.

Watercolor Cake Paint

The Seasons Greetings collection comes with 9 images to color and 9 sentiments for mixing and matching.  I chose the Peace on Earth sentiment, coloring with the dark blue/purple paints, but decided to fussy cut the words, so as not to cover up my angel too much.  It was detailed work but I love the outcome.  Of course, you could put the sentiment on the inside of your card as well.  I've trimmed strips of foam tape to pop up my sentiment for added dimension.

Christmas Angel tag for Unity Stamps + Prize

This is one of two projects that I'm sharing today.  (If you're looking for my project with Graciellie Design, go here.)  It's day 3 of my feature with the Unity Stamp Company as their Growing in Unity Girl.  Today, I've made a glittery vintage Christmas tag, featuring the Susan Weckesser stamp set, "World of Christmas".

My stamp was inked with Ranger Ink Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo, on a trimmed piece of Heartfelt Creations designer paper from the Every Day Heroes collection.  The paper design and colors went well with the vintage look that I was going for.  

I've fashioned some wings for this sweet angel, out of a medium sized white ribbon rosette, trimmed in half, then cut some half moon shaped strips from May Arts Ribbon sheer glitter ribbon and stapled them over the partial stamped wing image.  Her little halo is a tiny strip of tinsel string adhered with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L extreme tape.  I've also embossed some gold stickles glitter glue and Platinum Pearl liquid pearls with a dot stencil.   I quickly dried them with my heat emboss tool to speed things along.

Behind my tag, I have an extra layer with gold satin ribbon peeking out, along with gold mesh ribbon.  The topper on my tag was achieved by using some Sizzix dies.  Did I mention I tinted her eyes, just a touch?  I used the fine tip of a teal Marvy Le Plume II brush marker.

I intended to add a sentiment but, guess what?  I forgot!  I was so happy with this little angel, I couldn't wait to take her picture.  I think she looks just fine without a sentiment though.

Be sure and leave a comment on my blog post each day this week, to be entered to win one of two grab bags of 25 stamps from Unity.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
