Yep, I believe in Angels! I believe they
watch over us and try to keep us from harm. Sometimes they show up as a friend
at a time of need, sometimes as a beloved pet who just loves us for who and what
we are. I love to create Angel projects as gifts for those “Angels” who have
come into my life. Even though I am giving them as Christmas gifts, I have used
non-traditional colors (lavender, pink, blue etc.) so the recipient can use them
all through the year.
Supplies
· AG CP Victorian Angel
mold
· Blender, strainer,
cello sponges and soft towels
· A sunny window
·
Scraps of white and purple paper (think junk mail, etc.)
· Small glass Votive holder and votive candle
· Approx. 16 inches of 1/4 “ lavender satin or Picot edge
florist ribbon
· Tiny lavender Satin Rose
· Tiny bunches of purple Baby’s Breath
Instructions:
1. Follow
the instructions found in any of the Arnold Grummer™ paper making kits to create
white slurry and cast one full Angel and one torso/head Angel.
2. Allow
the castings to dry.
3. Create
sheets of medium shade lavender and medium weight handmade paper. (Note: you
can keep adding more white slurry to this and create lighter and lighter
colored sheets.)
4. Attach
the Angel torso to the Votive holder with QuickGrip™ adhesive.
5. Tie
two small satin ribbon bows and attach them and the tiny bundles of purple
Baby’s Breath to the sides of the Votive candle holder.
6. Tear,
score and fold the lavender handmade paper to create a 4 ¼ x 5 ½” card.
7. Attach
to Picot edge ribbon to the ribbon area of the angel casting with QuickGrip™
adhesive. Wrap the end of the right side piece of ribbon to the back of the
Angel.
