Peace - How still we see thee lie card

A Little Town of Bethlehem Peace

Hi All

I created this card for craft day at the Papermill Direct shop in Kendal and I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Embossed in black on beautiful pearlescent card from Papermill Direct, and coloured with pixie powders from creative expressions, they are lovely to work with an create a great shimmer the to card.  Created with a mixture of Jane Gill's sparkly trees stamp and Francoise Read's Peace stamp from Woodware at Creative Expressions.

See the sheen on those pixie powders.

And it all stands up.

First and second generation stamping with the sparkly trees make a good backdrop to the golden tones of the little town of Bethlehem

Turn to the left and see the 3D effect

I hope you like it, I do.

Sail Away Birthday Boy

Hi All

Just thought I would show you a few of the cards we have done recently.  This is a great card for people who go yachting, and guys in general.  Created on a white cardstock base card with kraft card accents, and a lovely teal card from papermilldirect embossed with a creative expressions embossing folder. The stamp set is comprehensive and comes from Woodware, designed by Jane Gill. I hope you like it.
