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

Tressa said...

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!
