Hi all! In today's intense world, we all can be reminded to spread Joy, Love, & Peace everyday (although this will be my Christmas card this year).
I created a window mask the size of the card front ensuring consistent placement.
*Sponged SU Marina Mist heavier at the top and left a lighter spot toward the center.
*Stamped the single pine tree from SU Lovely as a Tree set with SU Mossy Meadow... first generation on the right and second generation and lower on the left.
*Inked Stampibilities Joy Love Peace with Altenew Jet Black for inside sentiment.
*Using a black marker (Marvy Brush Markers), I inked "Peace" for the cover.
Tip: make sure your stamp is cleaned well before attempting your placement. Also huff on the stamp after inking your word ensuring full coverage. You could unmount this stamp and use your MISTI
*Stamped my envelope with SU Certain Celery.
Since I'm not certain if I'm giving some as gifts, I made a few belly bands for boxes of 10. I punched the edge to jazz it up and stamped the interior message to a sponged square to finish the band/package.
I live in the Northern suburbs of Chicago and it doesn't always snow for the holidays...this is serene for any location. ;)

Oh, this is just a beautiful Christmas card and your belly band is super. I'm sure the recipients would be very pleased to receive a box of these cards. About the snow, living far down south, it is a very rare occasion if I see a Christmas snow. I did see one a few yrs. ago. It was beautiful.
