Welcome to our Thursday hop! If yo have joined me from the fabulous tara, glad you stopped by. If you jumped in right here – love that too! We have a theme challenge today – BIRDS… and I have chosen the new & wonderful Peaceful Garden Suite, available in the Sep-Dec Mini Catalog. Visit this post to learn more about this suite of products. The only item I did not use was the ribbon – I substituted the 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon, Silver & White. Let’s take a look-see.

I began with a Misty Moonlight card base 4 1`/4 x 11 scored at 4 1/2 then 5 1/2 – to create a bookfold card.Next I cut a 7/8 x 4 1/8 piece of the Peaceful Garden 12×12 DSP and attached it tot he area between the two score lines. I then used the Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer ribbon to wrap over the DSP, securing with Tear n’ Tape. I then adhered that section to the card base, creating the bookfold. :O) I then tied a length of the same ribbon with a single knot around the ribbon and secured the knot with a glue dot. Next, I took a piece of Basic White 4 1/8 x 4 3/8 & ran it through the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder. Gorgeousness! I adhered this to the remaining card front. With Secret Sea I cut the sentiment panel using the smaller label die in the Peace On Earth Dies. I used an embossing buddy to remove any specks, stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink with a stamp from the Peace On Earth Stamp set,, sprinkled it with Metallic WOW! Embossing Powder in Polished Silver & heat set with the heat tool. I mounted this to the card front with dimensionals. This stunning dove is cut from Basic White with the Peace on Earth Dies. I used a dauber & Cloud Cover ink to add just a hint of color to the edges of the wings & tail. Attach with dimesnionals under the right wing & the bird body.

For the inside… I stamped the sentiments in Misty Moonlight ink on top of a bit of color of Cloud Cover added with the sponge dauber – these on a 4 1/8 x 4 3/8 Basic White panel.

For the envelope, a different pattern from the Peaceful Garden 12×12 DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. For information on how to order products to make this card, see below.
