Well my last post for the old year and what better way to ring in the New Year than to have a guardian Angel Herald it in. I love this Angel stamp-One can do so much with this stamp but I decided to make it simple and embossed it with  Egyptian gold powder. I then placed it on black and gold cardstock. I have so many favourite stamps but angels  always love. I also could not help but place a picture of my tree. I love Christmas and decorated my whole house but this is my tree. I love coloured lights. I have glass blown ornaments along with egg ornaments my mom made and gifts from people and then I hang the tinsel on one strand at a time. This was how my great grandmother decorated in Germany, my Oma and my mom. It will probably die with me but not before enjoying all the times I had making it. Now I plan on making this for at least another 50 years so that will mean I will be 100:) Happy New Year everyone

    Your angel card is beautiful Birgit, I can see how this would be a favourite stamp. I love the gold embossing and delicate gold edging. I saw it on MIM.
    Your Christmas tree looks wonderful too, it is great to keep up family traditions.

    This angel image looks fantastic embossed in gold, and the clean design with black and white panels works so well for an elegant look! I really like this card, spotted it on MIM.
