JOY TO THE WORLD {Amelia Ireton}

{JOY TO THE WORLD}

A dear crafty and very talented friend, whom I met on Facebook, AMELIA IRETON,
shared a few of her super cute drawings with me and I could not resist
creating a 'Christmas in July' card with this cutie pie called, CHRISTMAS ANGEL.
Please hop over to Amelia's blog called MIELIEFISH ARTY FARTY and have a look at her wonderful creations.  Leave Amelia some and love and become a Follower, if you like what you see xxx

The design papers, brads and bling are from my stash. The image has been paper pieced and coloured with Copics and dry chalks.  The folded embellishments have been created with square punches,

The beautiful sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC}.
