Peace Love and Joy

It's getting to be the time of year when my thoughts turn to holiday cards.  With working full time and going to graduate school, I'm not sure I'm going to have enough time to mass produce a card design this year . . .  This holiday design based on the current challenge at Global Design Project wouldn't be too hard to make in a large quantity, so I'll need to keep this one in mind! 

I paired the "peace, love, and joy" sentiment from Reverse Confetti's Seasonal Sentiments stamp set with a snowflake die cut and a non-traditional color scheme in my take on the sketch.  The sentiment was stamped in RC's Grape Soda ink on a white panel. I adhered a pair of dotted patterned paper panels, matted on shimmery silver, to a purple card base, then added the sentiment panel, matted on contrasting navy, on top.  After wrapping the cardfront with some silver thread, I added a snowflake cut from white glitter cardstock. I love the funky shape of the flakes in RC's Let It  Snow die set!  I accented the flake with a large clear crystal to finish the design.
