Peace on Earth.
Isn't that a wonderful wish for the holidays in these troubled times.
I am back to my blues again which I love when making snowflake cards. I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped the snowflake from Hero Arts. I inked the stamp with my 2 most favourite colours of blue Distress inks; Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean, sprayed with water and stamped.
When that was nice and dry, I added some little white dots using my Signo pen then cut away the panel on either side of the stamped snowflake. The card front was too plain, so I placed my paper into a Swiss Dots embossing folder, got out my trusty rubber mallet and hit it for some randomly placed embossing. I added 2 scored lines under the snowflake for interest.
I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts then mounted the card front using pop dots over the sentiment.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Little Red Wagon- CHRISTMAS THEMED
Simon Says- WINTER INSPIRATION
CAS on Sundays- CHRISTMAS
Time Out Challenge- WORDS INSPIRED
The Male Room- MASCULINE CHRISTMAS
Thanks so very much for coming by to take a look.
Supplies: stamps- Hero Arts/ Distress inks/ Signo wh pen/ pearl/ Cuttlebug EB folder/ rubber mallet/ ScorPal/ silver twine
