Peace for the Holidays


Peace.
It's something we all pray for and especially even more now in such turbulent times.  

I made another Christmas card as I get ready for the holidays.
This was a fun one using a leftover piece of Yupo paper I inked with Alcohol inks.
 I began by die-cutting the little village scene onto black cardstock.  This die is from Your Next Stamp and makes for such sweet scenery cards.
I backed it with the inked piece then stamped my sentiment from PTI onto a stitched die-cut piece and pop dot mounted it over to the side.
