Merry Monday #229

Challenges have started up again after the holiday break.  Today I have a card for Merry Monday - Angels.  I didn't think I was going to be able to make a card because my angel stamps are few but I decided to use one that I've used before in a different way.
I stamped the PTI stained glass on vellum in black and clear heat embossed. After coloring with Zigs, I layered the vellum between the card and front panel to allow the light to come through.

This was another of my bugaboo cards where things kept happening and I ended up with over four cut panels and two card fronts before I got two that worked without smudges, tears, and crooked cutting.  I'm just glad I ended up with one I am happy with.

I'm glad you dropped by and hope your crafting days are going well.

Sometimes cards just seem to want to be made and sometimes they DON'T, huh, Bobby?! I'm glad you didn't give up, this is a beautiful CASlicious design!! Hugs, Darnell
