I knew right away that I wanted Caroline to have sparkling wings. And I wanted to keep it CAS and make sure the main focus would be on Caroline. I opted for a black card with a dark background....I think is gives it more of a warm feeling. And of course when I think of angels, I think of my wonderful friends. Because that's what they are to me, angels.....love you ladies, you know who you are *wink*
I kept her dress monotone and just added some subtle hints of colors thru out. On a recent shopping trip I found a package of some cardstock strips already cut into fancy shapes & designs. I decided to alter 1 of them a bit and give it some sparkle. I lightly painted over the top w/my Creative Inspirations Paint. See below to see how the paint just makes them 'pop'!!
And here is my completed card!!
Glad you stopped by to take a look!! Don't forget to leave a comment, as I really like to hear them.
Love, Peace and Chicken grease
(heard that somewhere & now I can't get it out of my head...lol)
