Aren't they great! I LOVE them all of course, but for the hop we all worked with one of my favorites from our new set The Symbology of Angels, his name is "Praise". He is such an awesome image to work with!! I know I'll be using him all the time. So without further adeu, here's my project!

When I saw this card in my head, I pictured a bright burst of "light" in the center between his arms; which is where the idea for the circle came into play. I used some images from another Smeared Ink set, Shadow Thingies, to stamp and emboss the heart and whymsical swirls around the circle. I used feathers to make my rays of light coming from the circle, and attached a Karma charm.
The background of my card was made by sponging ink through a scrap piece of punchinella, then adding some accents with the gel pen. I also darkened the card behind my center light circle. "Praise" is colored with prismacolor pencils and gel pen. I added shadows around him, and popped his wings off of the card.
For me, even though this card is pretty simple, it really is a standout! The image just invokes a sense of beauty to me, and I adore it.
So now I'd like to invite you to hop on to the other DT members blogs to see how they interpreted the image "Praise" into their own project! Then come on by our shop to see all three new sets in detail.
