I wont lie, I found this sketch pretty intimidating and was wishing for a Tic Tac Toe challenge instead LOL I finally decided to use the Christmas Collage background stamp and cut the image down to fit what I wanted on the card. It is stamped in Old Olive, pulling the color from the DSP I used. I thought the 'Peace on Earth' sentiment worked well with the background image so I also stamped that in Old Olive and used a circle punch to cut it out. The circle is popped up with dimensionals and 3 small banners are mounted below it.
I thought the card looked kind of plain so I added some faux stitching around the edges.
It felt good to get crafty and Christmasy again!

We had that Nasty virus a few months ago! Awful stuff! I'm glad you're better and put your down time to planning a fantastic card! I love all your elements and the Old Olive! Thanks, Lisa, for sharing with us at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteLisa, so sorry to hear about your sickness but glad it is all over with now and your back to creating and what a lovely card it is! Love the monochromatic color with a touch of blue in the banners at the bottom. Gorgeous! I am up to my eyebrows trying to get our house ready to put on the market so I haven't been keeping up with my blog or reading others much. Will be so glad when it's all over.
