Brayered Blushing Bride ink on the top and bottom of a 3.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Brayered Wistera Wonder ink at the bottom and top of the card stock.

Stamped the Stampin’ Up! Pocket Silhouette Plant stamp using Basic Black ink.

Masked the bottom of the card stock using a post it note.

Ripped the edge off of another post it note and masked the sky with it.

Sponged Basic Black ink between the two masks to create the islands in the distances.

Ripped another post it note and used it as a mask in order to create the rocks in the foreground.

Sponged Basic Black ink in the unmasked area at the bottom of the card stock.

Punched a 1/2″ circle in a post it note.  Put the post it note on the card stock so the hole is in the sky.  Put the punched out circle on top of that creating a crescent moon shape.  Sponged Basic Black ink in the crescent shape opening.

Punched a 5″ strip of Blushing Bride card stock.  Also punched a label from Basic Black card stock.

Stamped my sentiment on a piece of Blushing Bride card stock using Basic Black ink.  Then punched it out using a Word Window punch.

Assembled my card be adding 2 Basic Black panels, 1 Blushing Bride panel and 2 silver brads.

May your day be full of peace and harmony.

Until my next post. . . . . .  .

    This is a fantastic, serene scene and your tutorial should make it a reasonable CASE. The label looks perfect on that punched strip. But, then, you always make it look so easy! (for which you are very appreciated).

    This is named appropriately Peace. What a nice card. I think this would work especially well for a sympathy card. Thanks so much for all your sharing with us.

  19. Anne R says:

    Michelle, what a beautiful card. I love to look at all the images you produce, but I think this one has appealed to me most of all – you have given it a very appropriate title. Living here in the U.K. I’m afraid I shall never be able to attend one of your classes, but I do appreciate all the lovely cards you make and sharing your know-how.

    Hi!

    Wonderful tutorial and this card is great. I tried it, ans you can see it on my blog.
    The only thing I can´t work with is the brayer, I sponged the colors.

    Hugs, Heike
