Peace On Earth Challenge #33

Hello friends.  Playing along with the Peace On Earth Challenge and they have the most absolutely BEAUTIFUL mood board to inspire us.


To me, the hearts signify what Christmas is all about...LOVE!  And how perfect to include a heart on our Christmas cards...I love this idea!!  I got a new Poinsettia die for Christmas, and paired with the new Heart Arrow Die from The Greetery, I came up with this CAS card...


I started with a white panel that I die cut the Heart Arrow Die with, and then embossed the panel with SSS's Holiday Greenery EF.  I die cut the Heart Arrow Die a 2nd time in Real Red cs and inlaid it into the embossed white panel.  Next I smooshed a piece of white cs with water and Real Red ink, let it dry, and then die cut with Waffle Flowers Layered Poinsettia Dies.  I absolutely LOVE the tiny holes that are cut out with each layer of the leaves on these dies!  Here's a closer up so you can see...


I also used some scrap dsp (I think it's SU!) to cut the leaves from and I love the little bit of contrast they give from all the red & white.  I finished with a strip sentiment from Gina K and some PFS Ruby Glitter Drops.

There are so many GORGEOUS inspiration cards from the DT and already in the gallery, so check it all out right HERE and play along if you're looking to stay ahead with your Christmas cards this year.  This challenge ends on the 16th @ 8:00PM.


Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    This is stunning, Marcia! What a great way to extend the use of a heart die too. Your smooshed poinsettia turned out fabulous! The embossed background adds even more beautiful texture. I see a winner here!

    Another gorgeous Christmas card, Marcia! The heart works perfectly with this gorgeous poinsettia! I love the splattered color! The embossed background is perfect for showing all the color off! HB2U, my friend.

    Hello birthday girl! You have another gorgeous card here today! Getting some mileage out of the heart die and I love that. A fabulous poinsettia beautifully created, both popped onto that amazing embossed background and all brought together with the perfect sentiment. What a wonderful Christmas card!

    This brought to mind the hymn "Love Came Down at Christmas", Marcia. What a lovely card with that smooshed poinsettia and embossed background.
