Peace on earth

Hello there! I've manage to squeeze in a little crafty time today to create a quick card using some new goodies.


I die cut my new die (free gift with an older Die-cutting Essentials magazine that I ordered from the UK earlier this month) from a panel of hammered white cardstock (Crafters Companion). I then blended some DOIs (wild honey and faded jeans) onto my cardbase, spritzed with water and blotted with kitchen towel. After trimming my panel, I stamped the sentiment (Decorative ornaments, Simon Says Stamp) and adhered the panel to my cardbase.

I'm linking up my card at:

Jingle Belles - Peace on earth

A Snowflake's Promise - #43 Anything goes

ABC Christmas - P for People, Q for Quick

CCC - #19 AG Christmas (optional inspiration photo)


CHNC - #346 Anything Christmas (optional: nativity)

CHNC Extra - Always Anything Christmas goes

CCAYR - Use yellow
