Jingle Belles Rock #40 - Peace

This week's Jingle Belles challenge is Peach on Earth, wherein The Belles have asked us to incorporate a Peace Symbol or the word Peace into your design ... or create a card that evokes Peace for you (snow, forest, etc.). I chose to go with the word "peace" and I made this:

There is NO stamping on this card. I got the idea for the design/layout when I saw this sketch at the cardabilities blog:

Naturally, it's last week's sketch, but still, it's pretty much at the top of my pile of sketches, and still in my frontal lobe, too. I broke out my new Basic Grey nordic holiday 6x6 paper pack for the patterned papers (I may have to marry that green dotted piece - looooove it!) , the lace is from Webster's Pages (not from the massive Groupon stash, no no no, it's from some new stuff I bought at the LSS...), the letters are Thickers and they have glitter, the button is SU, and the round sticky things are from my stash - Pebbles, I think.

Here's a closer shot so maybe you can see some of the sparkle:

I'm pretty happy that those round glittery things sorta go with the Thickers. Actually, I'm pretty happy with the whole card! I came out exactly like I'd planned it in my head, and that almost never happens! (yay, me!)

Today is Sunday, and except for laundry and maybe a trip to the grocery, I have no plans except to get crafty. Hopefully I'll have something bloggable later today.

Thanks for stopping by!

  5. I love the way you have used these designer papers - what a great idea.
    I popped by to say thank you for your kind comments on one of my cards. You asked if the card I'd used was an SU one - no it's just some green that was in my stash. I'm unlucky in that I don't know an SU demonstrator so I haven't bought any of their card etc up to now. Eeeek that's not good is it?
