Peace

Hello there my crafty friends!  Here is a non traditional colour for a Christmas card, but I really like it!  I started with a piece of white card and used the Moonlit Mist Luna Paste and spread a thin layer all over the card.  After allowing it to dry thoroughly, I embossed it with the Falling Snow Embossing Folder for texture.    Nexxt I cut a bunch of the Classic Poinsettias in varying sizes out of vellum.  I used the Stellar Ice Luna Paste on my finger and spread it onto the vellum flowers.  I assembled the flowers and then assorted them into the lower left corner and across half the background.  I used the Evergreen Branches cut in white as accents around the flowers.  Using The large Peace die/stamp combo set, I stamped two phrases and cut them out with the tags from the set.  I cut the bold Peace out several times out of white card and stacked them.  I glued it to the background and seated the sentiment tags above and below it with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

I don't have the lunar pastes but I think the Midnight blue pixie powder will do the job.And I have tons of vellum for those beautiful flowers. I hope I am allowed this Sue....If not please take it out... I have lots of vellum ... If anyone is interested... please get in touch with me. I think I might be trying this in the next few days as we are still in quarantine I have lots of time. Thankyou Sue.

  23. So called 'traditional' colours have as much to do with advertising than anything else so I am more than happy to see cards that don’t conform to the 'norm'. This card is, therefore, right up my street. Love it!

  26. Hi Sue. I don't care what people say, I think this colour luna paste is perfect for a Christmas card, in fact for any card for the winter season. I must get some soon.
