#5 Angels Among Us

Eek! My post is late for this week's challenge at Twist of Faith Cards!  Yes, it's been one of those ones.  Thank heavens for crafting to allow me some sanity every now and then!  This week, or challenge theme is ANGELS...

I found a really super scripture that I had read and heard before, but it was perfect for our challenge inspiration, and I think it speaks gently to us, encouraging us to be just that little bit nicer, more hospitable...


"Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realising it!
                           Hebrews 13:2 NLT


W are so lucky to have as our sponsor MICHELLE PERKETT STUDIOS! Michelle is an incredible artist, and an amazing person to know.  I'm a fan!  Her style of art is inimitable, and straight away, you know that an image or artwork is hers... each image/character has such a distinct personality... I'm in awe!  So we were thrilled to be able to create with these angelic images...

This week, I created with the Charity Angel image ... she's in the MPS etsy shop along with so many must have images!

I have coloured  with Spectrum Noir markers (my lastest acquisition, that I'm still trying to master!), and glitter pens.   Unfortunately all the glitter doesn't show in the photo, when it did, it reacted with the flash!).  I have chalked the background, and added a sweet scripture that I whipped into a digi ...

I've trimmed the image, and added a border of gathered lace, before mounting onto distressed, textured blue cardstock.  This has then been fixed flat to the white cardbase, and I finished with some sweet pearls...

This creation is also shared at these challenges...
Platypus Creek - #16 Pearls and Lace (6/10)
Hiding In My Craft Room - #65 Freestyle (6/10)
Challenges 4 Everybody - #4 Anything Goes! (13/10)

I do hope you'll join in our Angel Challenge, and share your Angelic creations with us!  Don't forget that our challenge is all about a 'Twist of Faith', so include an inspirational quote/sentiment or scripture on or in your creation....Thanks for peepin'!
