Angel Joy

Angel Joy - I finished this little beauty this afternoon, finially!!! It only took me 3 days. I discovered that Copics will not cover Scotch brand quick-dry adhesive. I had done my paperdiecing first and when I went to color her, there was a small amount of adhesive that had septed out on her leg. The color would not cover that area and then the color began to build up in other places; so I redid the whole image. I also had a quick drive up to Oklahoma City to take some paperwork up to my daughter so that she can close on her house this week. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive each way. I am so tired, therefore I am destressing by card making.
Rick will be leaving for Georgia on the 6th of August, then he will be off to Iraq for a little more than a year. So a lot going on.
Back to the card-The image is Mos digital. I colored her with Copics E000, 00, 21, 25, 31, 50, BG10, B00, R20, 22.
DP is Memory Magic and ribbon from my stash. The pearls are MS I used twinkling H2O's on her wings after heat setting the ink.

  1. Stunning work! You had a question on SCACD's store blog regarding the link to our challenges. We decided to not use the automatic link anymore - since we had problems with making it stay on top of the blog. So please link to your card in the comment section instead. Please let me know if you have any issues with this. We love to see what you create. Kram - Anki (DT for SCACD)

  15. Wow, a gorgeous image by Mo's. I love how you colored her. Too bad you had to do it twice. Must be hard to watch a loved one leave for war. God bless. Thanks for sharing such a fabulous card with us at SSC.
