Christmas angels



Today's card is done in the style of my friend Jacqueline in France. I have loved her beautiful vintage collage style since I found her cards back in April of 2008. Grab a cup of coffee and browse through Jacqueline's Flickr gallery or her blog to see what I mean.

I found this lovely angel image at The Graphics Fairy. I layered the angels, some pine sprigs and the "joy" tags onto some music paper, distressing around everything just lightly with Vintage Photo ink.
