Clean Christmas Greeting - Stampin' Up! Peaceful Season

   I've got another sample using soon to be release Christmas products!  To make choosing which stamp set to use next I've been relying on some of my favorite challenges so I have a bit of a focus when creating.  This card uses the CAS on Friday challenge where less is more and the hard part is keeping things "clean and simple" using the prompt.  This time the prompt is 'sentiments only'.  That's a hard one when I have so many new stamps sets with wonderful images.  Luckily the new Peaceful Season bundle has just the sentiment to use!

  I used a Basic White thick base, then made a smaller layer with Melon Mambo topped with a Basic White panel embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder.

  The Peaceful Season 'Christmas' stamp is stamped in Shy Shamrock and then die cut.  I cut a second outline in Shy Shamrock cardstock then layered it on the back just offset enough so it gives a but of a 3D effect. I popped that on dimensions in the center of the card front.

  Next I used the little banner die from the Peaceful Season dies to cut one out of Melon Mambo then embossed the 'Merry' in white embossing powder and popped that above the Christmas.

  And finally, to balance the banner I dug through some retired embellishments for these Melon Mambo dots.  

  I think I did ok with the challenge and restrained myself from using images lol!

  Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
