Instructions for Non Sequitur Angel Card

Instructions are from one of the popular classes given by Freyja

You will need:

• Main White Card 13cm square
• Two Pieces of White Card 9cm and 11.5cm square.
• Two Pieces of Dark Blue Card 10.5 and 12.5 cm square
• Piece of Heat Resistant Acetate 10cm square
• Stamps: Non Sequitur 'Winter' Plate, 'Angel with Cello' and 'Snow flake'.
• Fabrico 'Midnight' ink pad.
• Versamark ink pad.
• Silver Embossing powder
• Silver Thread
• Sparkles.
• 4 x Stationary Paper Fasteners
• Double Sided Adhesive Tape or Xyron.

Directions:

1. Stamp the Angel with Fabrico onto the smallest pieces of white card and trim the edges.
2. Mount onto the smallest blue card and trim again. See card above.
3. Emboss the edges of the acetate with silver and fix to the blue card with the paper fasteners.
4. Mount on to the white and blue layers trimming each layer as necessary if the image is not quite square then finally mount onto the main card.
5. Wind the thread around the paper fasteners and finish with a bow.
6. Stamp and silver emboss three snowflakes onto a scrap of blue card and cut round.
7. Adhere to the card as shown and add a touch of Sparkles to the sleeve rosette.

Variations:

• The solid parts of this stamp need very juicy, strong colour and Fabrico works very well with this image. Try other well-inked pads or try placing the card on top of the stamp and gently pressing all over - with practise it really works for a good image. Some stampers prefer a brayer to apply colour.
• Vary the colours - greens, browns, Brilliance 'Lightning Black' and deep reds all look very good. Try lighter colours and pastel card for a more delicate look.
• If short of card use 3 instead of 5 layers. This still will make an attractive card.
• This card is not only for Christmas; vary the embellishments for a different look.
