The challenge this month at Virginia's View is "All Things Distressed" and I used two blue distress inks from Tim Holtz and Ranger to make this peaceful background on a last minute holiday card. I started by heat embossing a tree from Stampin' Up with green embossing powder. I sponged on two shades of blue distress ink after heat embossing the beautiful "Peace on Earth" also from Tim Holtz. I sponged on some white stars with white pigment ink through a stencil from Heidi Swapp, added a gold punched star and layered onto a white card base.
I am also entering this card in the Anything Goes Holiday Blitz at Love's Rubberstamps.
Peace to you and yours this holiday season and into the new year!
Absolutely loving this mixed media CAS festive card. Great way you did the wording.
