Peace On Earth Challenge #103

Hello friends.  Hope you're not sick of Christmas/Winter cards yet, as I'm getting started on this year's cards already so I'm not scrambling like I did this past month! The Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge has a wonderful mood board using a monochromatic theme with blues that I absolutely love!


 Hubby got me a new stamp set for Christmas (well actually I bought it and he wrapped it...haha!!) called Delicate Pines (SU!) that uses greenery (pine needles) for snowflakes and I couldn't wait to play with it!  Take a look...


I started by stamping the largest snowflake in Boho Blue ink and then stamped over it with the medium snowflake stamp in Misty Moonlight ink.  The center of the snowflake was stamped with Night of Navy ink using the smallest snowflake, and I just love how all 3 layers came together!  


I used The Greetery's Nordic Circle & Rectangle Dies to cut out the snowflake and the top panel, and then layered them over a piece of Misty Moonlight cs and a white card base.  The snowflake has foam tape behind it to pop it up and add some dimension.  The sentiment (part of the Delicate Pines stamp set) was stamped in Night of Navy and a few clear sequins and a iridescent gem finished off my card.

If you're ready to get started on 2026 Christmas cards, check out all the beautiful inspiration from the talented DT right HERE and then play along.  This challenge is open till Thursday, Jan. 15th @ 8:00PM.

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

    What a pretty snowflake, Marcia! I love how you used different shades of blue and how perfectly it goes with the Nordic borders! That's how hubby does his shopping here too!
