Lacy TEXAS ANGELS

When JimmyeSue, the owner of Texana Designs and I were talking about the Texas Angel Stamp, she mentioned she would like to see it done with LACE.  I didn't know exactly how I would accomplish that at the time, but since I spent a good part of my life creating wedding dresses I love LACE.  I love working with it and have lots of it in my stash.  Her comment started the creativity wheels spinning in my head.  How was I going to make it work.

My first thought was to create my own patterned paper to use in paper piecing my stamped image.  

I used Sulky KK2000 Temporary Spray adhesive to adhere a scrap of lace to my card stock.

I created a spray using Broken China Reinker and water from Ranger and spritzed the lace and card stock

 After letting it dry I removed the lace and was ready to stamp on it.

I paper pieced the stamped image.  Dress and hat out of the "lacy" paper and then the two stars out of plain white card stock.  I colored the face, hair, and shoes with my distress markers and the wings and stars with Stickles to add shine.

AND then I got the idea (thanks Joyce) to dry emboss Lace.

 I used a piece of Venice lace to emboss some card stock

Sandwich used on my Cuttlebug:

A plate

card stock shim

B plate

Tan Spellbinders Mat

Card stock to emboss

Venice Lace

B plate

 I used my Blending Tool and foam to color the embossed image.

 

I then stamped the image over the embossing and used this to paper piece as I did for the card above.

I used my Distress Markers to color the rest of the image.

To make the wings glisten I used Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive and Diamond Dust to fill them in.
