Peace On Earth

I originally made this for Festive Friday Challenge Blog, (FFC17 - September) but never finished it in time!! Navy, white and silver were to be incorporated into the card - I also added some aqua and a tiny touch of red (on the top of the silo)


* The top portion of the white card base was stamped with a tiny 
image from Framed Out #7 using Versamark and then embossed with 
silver embossing powder.  
* A One Liner die was cut from Enchanted Evening card stock and then 
adhered to the card front. A small strip of white card stock was stamped 
with ON EARTH (sentiment was selectively inked: Holiday Wishes) and then 
impressed with the Wood grain Impression Plate. This strip was then 
attached to the card front right below the navy strip. 
* Winter Hills focal panel was made by stamping and embossing with 
silver embossing powder and colouring with copic markers. The rectangle 
was cut close to the frame and then  matted with navy card stock. 


* I always like to add some details to the inside, but I kept this one fairly 
simple - sentiment (Holiday Wishes) and a snowman and snow from Winter Hills.

Card Details (PTI, unless noted)
Stamps - Winter Hills, Believe, Framed Out #7, Holiday Wishes
Inks - Aqua Mist; Memento Tuxedo Black; Versamark; Close To My Heart: Denim
Paper - Stamper's Select White, Enchanted Evening
Dies - One Liners Die Collection

Wreath for All Seasons

  WINTER BIRTHDAY

I have another card with more snowflakes!!    It must be all the winter weather  we've been having lately. Seems like all my cards  this week have some snowy details.

I used Papertrey Ink's Wreath for All Seasons and added some snowflakes and glitter to the wreath and background paper for a unique winter look. This set is so versatile - it can be used for so many different occasions.

Here's the birthday card for my niece. She lives about 4 hours away from me so I wanted to make this card and get it into the mail this week - her birthday is at the end of November.
  I stamped the berries on the wreath in two tones of lavender/purple and added glitter to the background paper with embossing powder and glamour dust. The photo doesn't seem to show all the glitz, but it is very sparkly IRL!


Card Details:
Stamps: PTI Wreath for All Seasons, Vintage Picnic Sentiments
Inks: Close to My Heart Chocolate, Lilac Mist; Stampin'Up Lovely Lilac; Versamark.
Paper: Brazzill  "Love Potion" ; Creative Imaginations "Snowflake".
Other Supplies: Stampin'Up Iridescent Ice Embossing powder; DecoArt Glamour Dust; SU punches; white mini pearls; Nestabilities Inverted Scallops;  

Have a great day. Thanks for visiting!
