Peace

Hi friends.  I am playing along with another Christmas card challenge over at Festive Friday.
Here is the trigger:


I couldn't help but use my Papertrey Peace die for this.  I also used a new technique I saw Jennifer McGuire use here.  She called it stencil stamping.  You can watch her video to see how I made my card.  I was really hoping I had a small snowflake to fit in the letters but I didn't and had to go with a solid circle stamp I found in one of my flower sets.  I also wanted to do an ombre effect so I stamped full color on the top and then stamped off towards the bottom.  I will add this to Moxie Fab World: Honoring Ombre as well.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Cardstock:  Cherry Cobbler, Glimmer paper, Whisper White
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate
Stamps:  Wonderful Words:  Holiday
Accessories:  Star punch, Wonderful Words: Holiday dies
