Crafty Catz Dt Call challenge 10

Well this week at Crafty Catz we have the theme of Angels and Fairies. Well with Christmas round the corner I am sure we can all find a Angel to join the challenge. This is also the second part of the Dt call and to be considered you have to have entered last weeks and this. So here is my second entry. Massive apology for the picture with winter and the rain just cant get the light to show this stunning paper the sheen and the patterns in it. Just love this paper and i have it in a few colours it is the sort that you hate to cut and love to stroke.

Image is by Mo at Digitalpenciltoo. Coloured with promarkers. Flowers hand made given to me as a birthday present with the sentiment which i believe is a Stampin Up. Wings have prisma ultra fine glitter on. Card has Satin Siver mirri Card framing the front and the layers and the backing nestie. I picked this satin at go with the sheen on the duck egg papers which came from Create and Craft. Finished with a white satin ribbon. The base layer has the CCS Big book paper in the buttons and the sentiment papers. This has been made for a friends birthday( Alex) for next week and just hope it is up to some way near her standard. Really enjoying making these easel cards think they really do have the wow factor.
