Peace on Earth

One of my favorite themes for holiday cards is Peace … in the middle of the hustle & bustle of the holidays, I am always trying to focus and find Peace.  So, our prompt theme at Jingle Belles this week is Peace … incorporate a Peace Symbol or the word Peace into your design … or create a card that evokes Peace for you (snow, forest, etc.).

When I saw this "Christmas Peace Sign" t-shirt, I saved it for future inspiration.  I wanted to see if I could create a similar design with stamps & ink.

I started with good white cardstock and four colors of Distress Inks (two blue – two purple).  Next I rounded-up small snowflakes from Hero Arts Holiday Cheer & Snowflakes.

I used a pencil & roll of tape (as my pattern for the shape) and drew a very light circle.  Next, I started with the larger snowflakes positioning them around the circle & then added the smaller snowflakes to fill in space.  I primarily used the small snowflakes to create the peace sign in the middle.

I finished with a {peace on earth} sentiment from CatsLife Press.

It's also an Anything Goes theme at the Simon Says Stamp blog this week trying to reach 1,000 entries.

I hope you find peace this week … and have fun creating a peaceful holiday card.
