Peace On Earth
Welcome to my Wednesday blog post. It is cold here in Georgia today. Temps were in the 30’s this morning, too cold for me. I like cool but not cold, but with cold we know Thanksgiving is on the way. O’ it’s Wednesday also, middle of the week or “Hump Day” and the week-end is closer than we think.
- The card starts with a base of Shaded Spruce 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2”.
- A mat from the Dashing Along DSP 4” x 5-1/4” is adhered with Liquid Glue to the Shaded Spruce card base.
- The reverse side of the DSP used above for the first mat is cut 3-1/” x 4-1/4” and becomes the mat for the Botanical Bliss art piece. This is adhered to the first mat.
- The Botanical Bliss art piece is cut from a panel of Whisper White card stock 2-1/4” x 4”.
- A length of Leaf Ribbon is wrapped around the art piece and the mat for the art piece. The ribbon is adhered with glue dots on each leaf.
- The greeting is stamped using Cherry Cobbler Ink.
- The three stars are from the Retired Enamel Shapes.
- The inside sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on a panel of Whisper White and adhered to a panel from the Dashing Along DSP.
- The bird die from the Botanical Bliss bundle was used to cut one bird and a few branches from Cherry Cobbler card stock, which is then adhered using Liquid Glue to the right corner of the sentiment panel.
