I wanted to keep this card simple with the main focus being the PEACE stamp. The DP's are inked around the edges and divided by velvet ribbon, which added to the aged feel of the stamp and hopefully the card. The hinges are from a friend's die cuts...I inked them and then added amber gems to the screw holes to add the bling factor. The stamp is chalked and the star would not be complete without a gem in the centre of it, then mounted it with 3D foam tape to make it stand out. Definately a case of...less is more! Thanks for looking

Love the stamp and love the colors - this is my favorite of the two, but both are lovely! That stamp is impressive! And while I'm guessing it's probably a holiday stamp, the way you've used it - your color choices - makes it perfect for expressing this sentiment year round. VERY nicely done!

I'm smiling as I read that you want to keep them simple, you do in a way but guess it's just something you do that makes them extraordinary. Fine work! Love those embellies and brads.
