Christmas Angel

Welcome to a wonderful sponsor for our July challenge at Die Cut Diva's-

Please check out the HUGE amount of dies, stamps, embellishments, etc. they carry-it's staggering!

The prize this month is this Holly Die, measuring 5" x 3.75", and valued at $25.99!

(International winners must pay shipping, Free to US winner)

and our theme is "Christmas in July"!

Here is my card-

I saw a tutorial at Parti Craft Blogspot, and had to try it! I wish you could see the glitter and mica powder-it really adds some cool bling factor! Here's the materials I used:

1.  Dies: angel (Spellbinders Dies D-Lites Holiday Angel), matte gold cardstock.
2.  Inks: red, green (Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Ink).
3.  Other: white Mica powder, gold glitter, Glossy Accents, white tissue paper, acetate. 

Try this technique to make some unusual backgrounds!

I'm also entering this at Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge!
