The Gift Of Peace

Good afternoon!  It is so glorious out, I went for a beach walk and it was HOT!

 

 

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Stamp TV, You're TREEmendous
Simon Says Monday, Shine Bright Like A Diamond
Stamping Sensations, Christmas Greetings
Penny Black, Anything Christmas
Scrapy Land, Anything Goes

 

I used the Tree Silhouettes stamp set from Gina K Designs and the Wishing You Joy set.  Trees stamped in Black Licorice ink.  Sentiment stamped using Versa Mark ink on to a Vellum strip and heat embossed in Black Embossing Powder.



Die-Namics, Cross Stitched Rectangles dies by MFT.  Lots of sparkly glittery Tinsel Glitter by Recollections as my snowy slope.  Glittery Ribbon Tab and Enamel Dots for accent. 

Each year I make ONE Black and White Christmas card.  Done.  :)

Thanks for coming by!

And Still It Snows

I am enjoying this snow series of cards.  No shoveling required!

Today's card is for the CMC Challenge, Wintry, Frosty, Cold.  To me nothing looks colder than a garden put to sleep for winter.  I think I have captured the chill of it all!

 

Several Gina K Designs stamps used here, Heartfelt, Home Tweet Home, and Tree Silhouettes.  I fussy cut the fence out, trees and birdhouse are stamped directly to paper.  Using my glue pad (again!) I covered the entire panel in Extra Fine Glitter, sprayed with a Workable Fixatiff and then heat set.  It just sets my teeth to chattering.  Such a chilly stark landscape......brrrrrrrrr.   Snowflake brad and pretty ice cold blue ribbon complete the design.

 

Hope it warms up for tomorrow!  lol

 

Thanks for taking a peek!
