Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! How are your Christmas preparations coming along?? I'm still so far behind :( But I do have a card to share with you today :)
I have a few Christmas cards to post in the next week or so, starting with this one. Sorry the picture is a bit dark...I took it a few weeks ago and sent it already before realizing the settings weren't correct :/ The base and layers are Spellbinders Card Creator Dies A & B. The top layer was embossed with a Tim Holtz Sheet Music Texture Fade Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas set, stamped with TH Festive Berries Distress Ink on a Spellbinders Ribbon Banner die.
The wings are a TH Layered Angel Wings die, embossed with the matching TH Wings Embossing Folder. Each layer was popped up with foam tape for dimension.
The angel on the inside is from TH's Joyful Song stamp set. The sentiment is from the same My Craft Spot Joy Filled Christmas set.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
I was looking out my window the other day and saw this guy scrounging around in the snow...in daylight!!
I hurried outside with my camera and scared the poor little guy up a tree!!
But I was able to get some close-up shots of him!!
He stopped to pose for me :)
Look at those daggers!! His claws are deadly...I'm glad he scurried up a tree instead of at me!!
Please be sure to stop by Craftin Desert Divas tomorrow for the winners of the Holly Jolly Blog Hop!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Happy holiday season my friends :)

beautiful elegant card. hugs
Gorgeous~Gorgeous~Gorgeous!!!! Wow, Lisa, this is stunning...jotting down the die and EB folder to add to my list of must haves.....I bet your little guy was looking for food.....I think it is going to be a long winter..ugh!!
Stay warm, I know there is more cold coming your way, too!!
love the dimensions you created using the foam tape. Beautiful white card!
Oooooh, pretty card Lisa. I love the wings and layers. I also like your pics of your friend, Mr. Opossum! His pink little nose, paws, and that ugly tail, not one of Our Lord's cutest critters, but I guess even the creepiest creatures need love, too! Take care and have a happy holiday season.

Stunning card, but I just love the opossum! We have just about all our shopping done except for a stocking stuffer or two. Only a few more days of school and then two weeks off.
I love your beautiful Angel wings card! I still have shopping to do for Christmas but I did bake four different cookies ALL day, my hubby was so happy when he came home from work!

Awwww absolutely beautiful - love it my friend tfs!!!
My sweetest friend, this card so perfectly celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. Not only so, but it is so beautifully designed and completely unique! How do you always come up with such inspiring ideas? :o) The wings are extraordinary! Layering them makes them even more realistic, like they're reaching out to envelop us in a heavenly embrace from our dear Savior. The musical background is gorgeous. The red sentiment against the pristine white card is glorious and also makes me think how perfect this design would also be for Easter! The interior angel and sentiment are equally marvelous. This is yet another masterpiece, my talented friend. You and your opossum friend have brought smiles to my heart tonight! (Still in love with those photos, by the way!)
Hugs and blessings!
Your card is so, so pretty, Lisa! I love all the white with the red sentiment. Your pictures are great too! Usually opossums really gross me out but your pictures make him look sweet (besides the close up of his claws) ;) Have a great night!

Stunning card Lisa! --- Great pictures of the opossum. I occasionally have one cross my back porch (in the day time) and I really didn't think he was cute but your pictures of him sure do put them in a different light. Hope you have a very merry Christmas.

Gorgeous card!! I love the elegance of white on white!!
Great pics of the opossum!!
Lisa,
You make alot of beautiful cards, but has to be one of the most stunning cards I have seen!! It is so gorgeous in it's simplicity. love all the dimension and embossing. Also love the pics of the possum, they are amazing!! We have possums in our yard too. A few times they had babies in our yard and our poodle would always bring the babies to our porch!! Needless to say, they stopped having babies in our yard, I guess our 5 dogs scared them away :)
This is a special beauty, Lisa! Love the white on white and all the texture. As for the critter, ick! Thanks for the beautiful card - I will treasure it. Merry Christmas you sweet gal!
beautiful card, I just love the simplicity of it all white and texture.
Lisa this card is so beautiful!! Love the picture too. Fabulous photography!

Fabulous photos of that little guy! And your card is gorgeous! All the white is perfect together with the wings and the dry embossing. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog! Merry Christmas!
What a fantastic card. Love it. Your Possum pictures are great as well. I am glad that he went up the tree too instead of at you.
