Peace on Earth!

I so wish for "Peace on Earth" every day of the year!

Another CAS Mix Up December Your Choice Christmas Card!
You have until the 24th to play along.


Here is my final 2017 Christmas Card..Happy Holidays dear friends!
Stamping + Die Cuts, Inlaid Die Cuts and Stenciling.

Another quick and easy CAS design using one of ARTplorations new stencils by Sanna: "Christmas Trees 1" stencil.  

I sponged using Distress Inks: Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn.  
Then die cut using MB Stitched Rectangle die.

I found this beautiful Alcohol ink T.H. Woodland Die tree in my stash.
I die cut a 2nd tree using SU Gold Foil and inlaid
in the alcohol ink tree.

I attached tree with Tombow liquid glue over my stenciled layer.
Stamped and fussy cut my sentiment,
popped up using fun foam onto my main image and Done.

I sincerely wish for Peace on Earth dear friends.
Happy Holidays and Hugs...

  6. What a beautiful idea for using this tree! I love the gold inlay and stenciled background. One of my many goals after Christmas is to play with alcohol, and I don't mean the drinking kind! See you soon, Nancy!
