1. With black ink, stamp from the Angel set the Christmas Blessings phrase and the Angel onto white cardstock. Ink and stamp the Angel a second time. Using a water brush and watercolors, paint all the stamped images.
2. Align the corresponding Framelits dies over the stamped images, and die-cut. For ease of use, we recommend using the Magnetic Platform to hold the Framelits dies in place while the shapes are being cut. Using scissors, cut out the body portion from one Angel. Adhere the cutout Angel body to the corresponding Angel with adhesive foam dots.
3. Add accents and dots to the layered Angel with a gold paint pen and a clear glitter brush pen. Set the Angel aside.
4. From the Circles set, die-cut a 2 1/2" circle out of gold glitter cardstock and a 4 1/2" circle out of white cardstock. Emboss the white circle with the Winter Snowflakes embossing folder.
5. Using a foam sponge, add blue and turquoise inks to the embossed white circle. Also add ink to the edges of the circle.
6. Adhere the Angel to the gold glitter circle with adhesive foam dots. Adhere the gold glitter circle slightly to the center left of the embossed white circle with adhesive foam tape. Set the layered circles aside.
7. Cut a 5/16" x 6" strip of gold glitter cardstock, a 1/2" x 6" strip of kraft patterned paper, a 3/4" x 6" strip of light turquoise cardstock, and a 1" x 6" strip of medium turquoise cardstock. Layer and adhere the strips together with liquid adhesive. Set aside the layered strips.
8. Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of kraft patterned paper and a 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" piece of light turquoise cardstock. Edge both with a gold paint pen. Adhere the kraft patterned paper to the turquoise cardstock with liquid adhesive.
9. Cut a 6" x 12" piece of kraft cardstock, and fold in half to create a 6" x 6" card. Use a gold paint pen on the edges of the card front. Adhere the layered kraft and light turquoise square to the card front with liquid adhesive.
10. Adhere the layered strips to the center of the card front with liquid adhesive.
11. Adhere the embossed white circle to the center left of the card front with adhesive foam tape. Adhere the stamped phrase to the bottom right corner of the card front with adhesive foam dots.
