Whew!!!
 
So here's the first card featuring
the new stamp set, Holy Angels...
 
 
Lots of layers on this one!  I started with a goldenrod colored card stock base and added a black mat.  For this project I used ODBD's Blooming Gardens Paper Collection.  I stamped the wings with a soft gray ink and the sentiment in black (Holy Angels.)  I added a layer of lace and topped it with a black edging die from the Beautiful Borders Die set.  I added greenery (Fancy Foliage Die) with a few mulberry blossoms.  An ecru cross (Ornamental Crosses) is nestled to the side.  I used an older set, Zinnia, to stamp the bee and coordinating Zinnia and Leaves Die to create the bee.  I colored the little guy with Copics and added a dusting of glitter glue for sparkle. 
 
So on to my second project,
which is definitely a bit more "frilly." 
 
 
This gem starts with a soft lavender card base with white and moss green matting.  I used a beautiful lilac DP print found in the Blooming Garden Collection.  I used the Vintage Flourish Pattern Die with my lavender paper and created a sentiment base.  The sentiment, (Key to Heaven) was stamped with a rich purple ink on white card stock and die cut with the new release, Vintage Labels.  Before removing the die, I lightly sponged the sides with a soft purple ink.  If you look closely you will see a pretty lace edging tucked underneath (Beautiful Borders.)  And look at those angel wings!  WOW!!!  I created these with the new Angel Wings Die.  After cutting, I lightly misted them with Glimmer Mist...  You just can't make out in this photo how amazing they are in real life!  Some greenery Fancy Foliage Die, pearl flourish and mulberry roses polish it all off!
 
I hope this release just knocked your socks off!  ;-)
 
Now don't forget to stop and visit my design team sisters!  We love to hear what you are thinking and it's a great way for you to win a chance for an ODBD gift certificate!

Well, Lori, you certainly knocked my socks off with these stunning creations! Love them both but have to say, I'm partial to the second one...probably because I'm such a fan of lilacs! The corner wing collage is just so beautiful! I'm going to have to order those after seeing all of the team's great cards!
