Peace


Today I have a Christmas card using my new SU! embossing folder called Winter Wonder. It's quite large so there's very little else needed on the card, but I added a Lawn Fawn stitched die-cut snowflake, with a silver candi dot in the center. The peace sentiment was cut from silver mirror card with a Memory Box Die. The color is Pacific Point from SU!. I decided to make another one in a different blue color...........


This is a random piece of blue cardstock I had on hand, but it gives a bit of a softer look.

I'm entering the first card into the following challenges:

Darnell's NBUS #12 - use some "Never Before Used Schtuff" {embossing folder}

Jingle Belles Christmas Challenge - use embossing

Craftyhazelnuts CHNC 353 - Christmas


Thanks for stopping by and make it a great weekend whatever you do!

    Oh Wow! That embossing really pops!!! Love the way you layered on top of it. Bet it would look good in red also. I actually worked on some Christmas cards today too.

    Please ignore the comment I made to enter this into my CHNC extra challenge - I was forgetting that we are now into October and your project was made in September. x

    Oh these cards are so lovely. They are simple but beautiful. Don't we wish "peace" was real? Hopefully this Christmas it will be granted.
