Peace on Earth

I’m, once again, guest designer on the Winter Wonderland challenge blog. This weeks challenge is no Christmas stamps or Christmas paper on your creation.

Peace on Earth (2)

I bought this Sizzix die last year to use on my Christmas cards but didn’t get around to making Christmas cards last year. That’s really changed this year, huh?

Peace on Earth I chose to go simple with my card since I wasn’t using Christmas paper. I mounted the die cut on a circle and mat cut with my nesties. I embossed the backing paper with a CB snowflake folder and tied a bow around it. I thought about adding some jewels to the embossed snowflakes but I think that would have just detracted from the cute image! But I did add a little doodling to the cut.

You can’t see it in the picture but I rubbed Versa Mark ink on the snowflake and embossed it with iridescent embossing powder.

The Bee Crafty challenge is today and I’ve scheduled a post to go up later so be lookin’ for that!

Blessings,

Christine
