It'a a cold wet miserable day today, woke up full of aches and pains and stiffness, so I thought I would do some crafting till the pain and stiffness eases.
I have seen where people use bottle tops in thier crafting, so thought I would have a go with one that I found, while walking the dog.
I embedded the cut out face in deep impressions embossing powder, in the bottle top and put it in the oven to melt. I needed some wings for my Angel, and found some printed on a square of paper that came in a lucky bag from the Loughborough meet last year, stuck them onto card, cut them out and triple embossed them. Then layered them over some pink sequin waste, before sticking on the bottle top Angel.
The background is a piece of bronzy pearlised card which I clear embossed with a filigree type stamp, and then embossed around the edges with gold and also the stamped word "believe" at the bottom. I added two pink gems but thought they looked too pristeen, so I melted them to take off the sharpe contours and added a few small clear holeless beads.
I may send it to FrankieSues Angel swap on Docrafts.

Hi Gwen-I found your blog through Viv's and thought I'd leave a hello comment. I really like your gothic arches, I'm kind of partial to that shape myself although I haven't used it in anything yet. May have to remedy that soon. Lovely bottlecap image, too.
It's fab!
