Angel Sympathy Cards - Painted Acetate

Two of the most difficult (emotionally) cards I've made:

a special Aunt of mine passed away.

It is so heartbreaking..... sniffle.

Sadly I've come to the realization that I

need to make Sympathy cards to have in

 stock at all times. I've sent so many out this year.....

The angels are stamped on acetate with black Stazon ink

then painted on the back sides with acrylic craft paints.

The sky was created by sponging blue and white paints.

They are backed with white paper

then layered onto gold card stock. 

The image panels are attached to the 

card fronts with dimensionals.

The white card fronts have been 

embossed with Texturz plates

then mounted to gold card stock.

Organdy ribbons, gold cord,

mini brads, photo corners finish them off.

I printed a poem and mounted it to 

gold card stock inside the card.

These are 5" x 7" cards

and required extra postage to mail. 

Thanks for looking.

I'm entering my card (first one with brads) in the following challenges:
