Naughty - but also nice!

Hello crafting friends!

When I saw the stamp set I'm using today, I immediately thought of a certain angelic redhead in my family and it made me smile. Come and see:

The set is Sweet Angel by Clearly Besotted and it has a selection of angels and fun sentiments to go with them. I inked one of them with Versamark ink and heat embossed her with gold embossing powder. After that, I had loads of fun colouring her with alcohol markers, my Wink of Stella pen and some gold stickles, before fussy cutting her.

It was hard to photograph (just another grey, rainy day in the heart of England!) but I hope you can see all the glitter and shine!

To ground my naughty little angel, I cut a piece of gold striped vellum and topped that with my sentiment stamped on a piece of ribbon-tailed card stock. The card was finished with sparkling stars - yes, that Stampin' Up Twinkle punch is really earning its keep!


CHALLENGES
I loved Joanne's sketch at The Paper Players this week so I used that for this card and will be linking up there; I'm also playing along with The Rainbow Card Challenge where this month's fun Metallic theme has been on my mind; I'd also like to join in with Scrappy Mo's Rudolph Day challenge - I've been so bad at remembering but it's the final challenge of the year and I'm hoping it's a case of better late than never!

AND IN OTHER NEWS
Eva and I are delighted to announce that the Dogmobile has done it again! She passed her MOT with flying colours, bless her. I will need to replace her tyres soon but I can do that after Christmas so I think Eva and I will celebrate with a long muddy walk this afternoon! (Well, Eva will get muddy - I'll try not to!)

Isn't it funny how attached we get to our cars? Have you had a car that took on a personality of its own? I'd love to hear about it!

Hugs,
