Angel Christmas ornament with a Sizzix die

A few days ago I posted here, on my blog a card with an angel. And because I really liked how that angel turned out I wanted to have one on my Christmas tree.

If you click on my earlier blogpost you will find the tutorial of the angel. Here I just write down what I made differently.

Since it's an ornament, I wanted to give it a little dimension, and both sides needed to be done, to be covered with glitter paper.

To have a little dimension, I cut out the angel twice from chipboard and I glued them together. The die I used was a Sizzix Bigz die, Angelic by Tim Holtz. Then I added the glitter paper on the top. Both sides, of course.

Since it was dimensional I had to take care of the edges, so I painted the edges with similar colours. With turquoise the edges of the dress, with silver the edges of the wing, with gold the edges of the trumpet etc.

Then I inked the edges with Ground Espresso Archival ink. And in the end I put Marabu Glitter Liner to the edges with matching colours.

With my angel ornament, I would like to join the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Use dies
