Peace
Hello crafters! I started by cutting a piece of white card. I used Distress inks to make the sky. I sponged Sailboat Blue, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks in a diagonal across the top of the card. I cut two hills out of white card and glued them to the bottom of the card. I used a white paint pen and tapped it all over the top of the card for the stars. Using the Snow Covered Pine Trio and created three trees by cutting the base tree out of white card with a piece of gloss white card on top. I used the pine base which when cut on the bottom left an embossed pattern of the pieces of the pine tree and I used the fall away pieces from the gloss white card to glue them onto the pine trees. I added all three trees with mounting foam to the card. I cut the Peace sentiment out of both white and black card. I shadowed the white Peace and glued them into the top corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeletewow a wonderful background and lovely card thank you. Take care all Kitty.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, the gloss white card on the front of the Christmas trees really does make it shine and distinguish it from the plain white card trees behind, they look amazing. So does the sky with all those vibrant colours and love the little snow dots, brilliant.
