FabScraps Angelic Christmas Collection - Pearly Gates

Ohhhhhh heavens!  FabScraps has come out with their most heavenly collection yet!  Angelic Christmas.
This collection makes my heart sing - it's so gorgeous.  Not only are the papers sensational, but the chippies are crazy cool as well - ornate, elegant and perfect for the season.

This is what I created.  My base background paper is Angelic Christmas Collection –Angelic21 paper. I added some additional inks and stamps to enrich the page and make it fit my vision.
 I cut an angel image from my photo paper and mounted it on cardboard.

The layout is very simple but I guess if I had put anything else on it, it would not have added value to the piece.  I like it clean and rather simple.

The unique FabScraps Cathedral Window Chipboard was covered thickly in gold embossing enamel .

Thanks for looking.  If you want to know where to buy FabScraps papers, go to the Flying Unicorns store.
