Lovely Peace

The Less is More challenge this week is

ONE LAYER CARD

entitled

SEEING DOUBLE

So on your entry this week, we'd like to see TWO of something.

I got to play with my friends in Roanoke Rapids yesterday and practiced using the new Designer Frames Embossing Folders.  I thought the one layer with the embossed oval would be perfect for this challenge.  What do you think?

Here's a wonderful tutorial on how to use these embossing folders without having the extra lines.  Thank  you Sharon for sharing this with us.

After I did the embossing on the card, I punched an oval from a sticky note with the wide oval punch.  Then I laid the note over the embossing leaving the oval open.  I inked the top of the fir tree from the Lovely as a Tree set with Old Olive and thumped the ends of the branches with my Always Artichoke marker and huffed before stamping. Then I repeated the process and stamped again a bit lower.  I sponged the sky with Stampin' Pastels and used my uni-ball® white Signo Gel Pen to make snowflakes.  I lightly sponged the dots around the oval too.

The sentiment is from the retired All Holidays set.  I used a Not Quite Navy marker to ink the Peace of the Peace, Love, Joy stamp.
