The fortnightly challenge 14 over at the CCC was picked by Maureen where the theme she chose was Angels. I thought I would do a stepper card with an acetate cover for this one. The papers are from the Craftwork Cards pad called The Magic of Christmas. I cut and matted them on to gold mirri card from Hunkydory. The stamps and sentiment are all from Heartfelt Creations and I also used the matching SB die to cut them out. The gingham ribbon was made into a bow using a method shown by Christina of card-making -magic. The corner die is from Marianne and one that use a lot in my cards. Sorry about the picture, as I did try to get a picture with a plain background , but that did not work, so this one was taken on the dining room table and at least you can see it is acetate. Got lots of Birthdays this month too, so I better crack on and get some of them done, only a week to go before our hols too. Enjoy your Weekend , hopefully with some sunshine too. Hugs Rita xxxx

Hello Rita,
What a super card, love it, great design.
Might use your design for my Card Class, if you don't mind. The ladies were asking to do an acetate card.
Take it easy with the chores.

That corner die is a favourite of mine too and everything has worked very well on this acetate card. Enjoy the rest of the weekend
Gorgeous card Rita. Have fun at your house sitting stint, taking crafty stuff with you? xxxx
Beautiful card, as always! Have a lovely day, hugs, Valerie
Your Christmas card is so beautiful! You know how I feel about Heartfelt Creations....love it! These little angels are some of my favorites too!
Gorgeous card Rita. Acetate is always difficult to photograph but you have done a great job. The corner pieces are really effective. Talking about chickens, I have just spent the last hour scaring away a stoat. I think it is after the babies :(
Have a lovely day.
Hugs to you both,

Gorgeous card Rita. The angels really appear to be flying don't they? Hugs Christine xx
Oh My! The angels DO appear to be flying on the acetate indeed (quoting Christine above). What a marvelous idea to do your stepper card this way. The angel stamp is lovely, and those gold corners are so rich looking. Loved your gingham ribbon too, and that's a wonderful bow. Enjoy your time away. TFS & Hugs.
WOW Rita loved the idea of using acetate...what a stunner it looks with the flying angels
Cheers

A lovely acetate card Rita. Loving that professional bow at the bottom too. Jenny x
Beautiful card that is so striking and so very different. Whoever receives this will ensure it is on display for a very, very long time.
Rita, I am working backwards from your newer posts to older so only now reading that you are house sitting along with the chickens and dog - enjoy this time away from home.
Wishes
Lynne
