Wishing peace - today and everyday

Hello. Today's card, whilst intended for Christmas, seems to me gently suitable for today's Anniversary.



Bazzill cardstock forms the card base. I've stamped and embossed Penny Black "Snow Dust" stamp (4102K) onto blue vellum. (The blue laid over the cream cardstock makes the vellum appear a gentle aqua colour). The embossing powder is 'Gilded Ivory' by Sparkle n Sprinkle and is more sparkly than captured on the photo. I've also stamped a greeting on vellum using a Stampendous clear stamp (Christmas Wishes ssc1068), punched some ornate corners and mounted onto cardstock. No card of mine would be complete without a ribbon! I then added pearls, stars and bows from stash.

Ive entered this card to "Sparkle Creations weekly Christmas Card Challenge", "Just Keep on Creating Christmas Challenge", "Unique Crafters Challenge, Anything Goes", "Daring Cardmakers, Vellum", "Anthing Goes Challenge Blogspot - Early Christmas", Stampin for the Weekend - Early Christmas and "Creative Card Crew - Trees"
