Peaceful Wishes

Good morning all!  This is one of those cards that I had no clue where I was going when I started and really surprised myself when I finished it!  My goal was to use the holiday tag die set, but I didn't want to use it as just a tag.  Dies need to have more that the expected use for me, something that justifies it's use (and expense) more than just the obvious.  I like the tag set but I thought this "tag" would make a nice embellishment cut out of black glitter card as just a star in the sky.  My monochromatic scheme may be a bit boring but  there is something about the sereneness to it that I like.  I sponged in some   background clouds using a torn piece of copy paper and black soot distress ink.  I added some hills of black card that just needed something so black PVA glue got the call!  I stamped the pine tree and cut them out roughly and added a forest to my card.  Stamped the sentiment in black archival, added my star and a tiny black and silver reversible ribbon. The card is matted on white with pearl PVA glue dots then finished with another layer of black.  A bit out of my comfort zone, but fun every once in awhile I think!  All for now, Sue x
