Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge


Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog! 
SO happy you stopped by!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.  Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! 

Here's a fun inspiration board we've created to help get you started ...

 

 WOW!  So many directions I could have gone today with the images in this mood board but then I spotted a image that I had stamped AND colored long ago that would work perfectly.  The image is from an old (circa 2006) Northwood Stamp and I'm assuming I colored it with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

 

 As you can see, I did touch up the color of the Blue Jays and though difficult to see in the photo, I added a touch of sparkle too.

The background panel was created using a Tim Holtz stencil and TH oxide distress ink.  The poinsettia corner dies are by Sue Wilson (CED3109).

 

PLEASE be sure to pop over to THE BLOG and check out the amazing designs our design team has created for your inspiration.  What a group of talented ladies!!  Then come join in the fun!! 

  Have a great day!

As always ... thanks again for stopping by!

    This is a lovely card, Darlene. I like the framing with the swirly flourishes and those cute little blue jays!

    So very pretty and represents the mood board perfectly, the blue jays with their pop of color really sets it off!

    Your inspiration boards always get me going Darlene and I just wish there were more hours in the week!! Your vintage style Christmas card is so sweet and I love the wood look background and the flourishes that add so much movement to your card. Vicky x

    Perfect stamp for the challenge. I love the addition of the blue birds and how they pop of the design. Its always the extras you add that makes your cards so special.

    Love that old Northwoods stamp! Perfect for the challenge. You've coloured it beautifully. The green framing sets it off so well.
