Peace I Leave With You

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another card designed with the new Doves of Peace (designed by Krista Hamrick), Texture Tiles 3 and the previously released stamp set, Peaceful Peonies (designed by NinaB Designs)from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps.

I am participating with the Paper Craft Crew Challenges #317 Sketch Challenge  (oops! just noticed the square notation but converted mine into a normal A2 size) along with the {PIN}Spirational #230 Inspiration Challenge (I was inspired by the blues, white and peaceful feeling) and the Word Art Wednesday #364-#365 “AnythingGoes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the texture image from Texture Tiles 3 with Versamark™ ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Once the embossing has cooled, use a sponge dauber to apply Tim Holtz™ Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink, use a damp paper towel to remove the excess ink and die cut with a stitched strip die.  Mount onto black cardstock, trim close to the die cut edge and adhere to a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4” x 5 ¼”.

 2).  Stamp the dove image from Doves of Peace with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Once the embossing has cooled, use water-based markers to color the image and fussy-cut around the edges.  Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the globe area.

3). De-static a piece of black cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Peaceful Peonies with Verasmark™ ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.  Die cut with a stitched oval die and mount onto another die cut from the same size oval (to give the sentiment additional stability). 

4). Die cut a circle from white cardstock with a stitched circle die, mount onto another circle die cut from black cardstock.  Die cut the banner from black cardstock using a stitched banner die, split the banner in half, adhere to the card front and mount the entire panel onto a piece of black cardstock before mounting onto the white card base.

5). Add the die cut stitched circle with dimensional foam, adhere the looped silver cord and mount the sentiment with dimensional foam.  Add the fussy-cut dove image and finish off the card with a few rhinestones.
