Gentle Peace

Well the countdown begins, Christmas will soon be upon us.  I hope you all are ready!  I know I'm ready.

Here is a stamp set that is still available for purchase, it is not in any of the catalogs, but can be found on line HERE.  It does make a quick card, if needed, or you can have fun coloring in the image too.

For this one I choose quick.  I used Versa Mark ink and silver embossing powder for the image.  Then I sponged around the image with Soft Sky and Night Of Navy.  Card stock it Whisper White and Night of Navy.  I used the sentiments that came with the set to stamp the inside with.  Nothing fancy but I like how the main image is the focal point too.

I hope you all have a great week and try to relax also.  Mary

Gentle Peace and Merry Christmas

While I still had this stamp set out, I decided to make another card with it.  It is fun to color and there are so many possible ways to color it too!

I found this card at Kay Kalthoff blog and decided to CASE it.  I believe she CASE'D it from Stampin' Up! too.

Stamp set: Gentle Peace
Card stock: Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Whisper White
Blendabilities
Memento Black ink
Filigree embossing folder

I want to wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a happy Holiday Season!  Mary

Todays card was a "lets see how this idea turns out" card.  In looking at it, I think if I make this one again, I would add some layers behind the main image.

I used Silver Embossing powder after stamping the image with VersaMark ink.  Really this card took all of 10 minutes to make, so really fast to do.  I know the card stock is retired, but I don't know the name of it, but you could use Night of Navy if you have that.  The stamp set is Gentle Peace.

I don't know why it looks gold or why the light looks yellow either.  Truly is a Clean and Simple card that requires no extra postage, which is great if you have a lot of Christmas cards to make and send out.
