Peace Card - Stampin' Up!
Although it's still a little early to be making Christmas cards, I wanted to use the "Peace on Earth" sentiment from the Greetings of the Season - Stampin' Up! stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.
As a meditation teacher, I often use peace as a theme with my students, and it's a sentiment that can be used all year round, not just at Christmas.
This card also features the - Stampin' Up!Elegant Butterfly Punch. It co-ordinates perfectly with the - Stampin' Up! Papillon Potpourri stamp set, which I hand coloured with Elegant Eggplant and So Saffron markers, then added a few dots of Dazzling Details and attached it with a Glue Dot.
I stamped the card with the - Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch stamp set in Raspberry Ripple, and hand coloured around the centres in So Saffron. The smaller flowers are stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink. I stamped an extra flower in Raspberry Ripple, then punched it out using the Stampin' Up! Blossom Punch, and added some Elegant Eggplant lines with the dual tipped marker, curved the petals with my Bone Folder, and popped it up with a dimensional.
I hope you enjoy this card.

Betsy's Blossoms Fun and Fresh Card - Stampin' Up!
I love the Spring colours in this card: Midnight Muse, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White.
*I then layered a piece of Lucky Limeade 5.5cm x 14cm which I had first stamped all over with the large image from the set with Lucky Limeade ink.
*Next I stamped the branch onto a whisper white 9.5cm circle cut out using the large circle die.
*I stamped an extra wing and bird onto scrap Whisper White card and cut them out, then popped them up using dimensionals.
*I adhered all the layers together with Snail adhesive, trimming off the bottom of the circle with my paper snips.
*You can add any greeting you like to this card. I chose to make it a birthday card.
*The final touch of Bling was a small rhinestone for the bird's eye.
