To Friends

Pretty and simple are great combinations anytime. And today’s card highlights both of those using the Peace To You stamp set.

Stamps

There are two stamp sets used on this card. The first is the fabulous Peace To You stamp set. The image of the church is from that set. It is square shaped with more trees showing when looking at the stamp itself. To change it up a little, I used the Decorative Circle Punch to highlight the church and a couple of partial trees. With the shape of the punch the scene is framed very well.

The second stamp set is for the sentiment. Since I have friends all over the country I take this statement literally. And I love that! Even though they are not close by, they are still friends and in my thoughts. This sentiment is from the Leaves of Holly stamp set. To shape the sentiment I went to the partner to Leaves of Holly, the Holly Berry Dies. These are a bundle in the Mini Catalog. This shape is a little larger than totally necessary for the words. However the extra bit of white sort of mimics all the white of the card against the blue strip.

Definition and Finishes

To give the background of white some definition, I used the Whimsical Woodland Embossing Folder. It may be a little more whimsical than the focal image, but the tone on tone of it keeps it more subdued. By using only two colors on the card everything seems to work well together.

The Starry Sky Ink for the focal image is a brighter “night” than Night of Navy ink would be. And by using it as the card base and the strip to ground the sentiment, it gives a brighter look to the card. To add a touch of bling, I simply added two of the Rhinestones to the sentiment. This is a great card for multiples, and may just be in my Christmas cards for this season.
