70th foiling

Hi Everyone, my card today is for an old work colleague, she always insists I send her "angel" cards, so for her 70th birthday I chose this image, I thought it so pretty and perfect for her. I print and cut the image and coloured it in DI's, also print and cut the lilac paper with a rounded bottom, maybe I was thinking of our behinds in lockdown ahem! I then added foil for the sentiment. I used a punch again! 😄 for the stars. I also added a foil line around the lilac paper. A little pink card to brighten it and it was done, sounds so simple when I say it like that!

They're promising LOTS of rain for us this weekend, up to 100mm, that's nearly 4 inches, I hope their wrong,  I think it will have to be a crafty day, aw! what a shame hahaha. Keep warm if your covered in snow, dry in the rain and safe from Covid.
paper - Tiny Twinkles, The Lovely Studio (used to be Pink Petticoat)
Distress inks
pink card - Lidl
Silhouette Cameo
WRMK foil pens and foil


this shows how the foiling shines.

Vicky Hayes said...

Oh this is just beautiful Faith! I'm amused that your friend insists on angel cards (perhaps to make up for her devilry? LOL!) I love that you used lilac dotty paper for your sky and I love that vintage-style angel pouring out stars on an unsuspecting world! You made me laugh out loud with your remark about rounded bottoms! Talking of which, it's time for coffee and cake I think - got to keep my strength up! Vicky x

What a beautiful card Faith! I love that image, you really colored her up so beautifully too! Love your rounded bottom, lol and love the foiling. Did you use the WRMK heat foil pens? Looks so pretty! The punched stars are perfect as is the sentiment. Don't you love it when your machine does the writing for you?! Your old work colleague will love this one, I LOVE this one! Hugs, Brenda
