I had so much fun creating this Christmas card with Peace and Joy Bundle by Stampin' Up!

I've used non traditional colours Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot and guess what, there is not a bit of bling in sight! Regular followers will know that I love adding shimmer and sparkle to my cards but today, I've held back and kept it simple.

To create my card I started by creating the background, randomly stamping the individual holly and berry photopolymer stamps from the Peace and Joy stamp set. It's the first time I've paired Blushing Bride and Merry Merlot together and I love it.

I combined several of the sentiment stamps to create my own message 'Sending peace and joy to the world'.

A little bit of peace and joy is just what we all need after the year we have all had. There's still just under 3 months of 2020 left so make sure you take some time to do what makes you happy and brings you more peace in your life.

To create my message, I stamped the small words in Merry Merlot and cut them to size with my scissors, leaving a thin border of white space around the image.

I then inked the large word stamps in Blushing Bride and lightly applied Merry Merlot to the stamp using a Sponge Dauber to create an ombre effect - how cool is that?

I used liquid glue to apply my words to a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock and then attached it to my card using Dimensionals, at an angle.

This card is definitely a contender for our Christmas Card this year. You could mix it up and create in so many different colour ways. I'm thinking Pool Party and Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Misty Moonlight and maybe Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.
