IB183 Peaceful Greenery

Happy Thursday, peeps!  Time for a new Inspired By Challenge, and we've got two beautiful photos to inspire you:

 

You can choose the first one to make a generic card or the second one to make a holiday card!  I just happened to get a new stamp set that featured lots of foliage, so that's the one I chose!  Once I got started, I just kept going! Here we go:

I drew two lines at the lower third of my card and stamped the greenery from Close to My Heart's Merry Borders in various shades of green on either side. I also added some other greenery from W+9's Merry and Bright.  I added pine cones from the same set, candy canes from another CTMH set (Just Treats Stamp of the Month), and some red berries cut with SU's Poinsettia dies:

I added a Kraft panel, stamped with the lines image from Gorgeous Grunge, then added the "peace", diecut from some retired Brushed Silver cardstock.  And here's the inside:

I am also entering this at the Jingle Belles, because they're asking us to make a card with NO designer paper---and this just happens to fit the bill!

Please stop by the Inspired By blog to see the amazing creations the design team made, then share yours with us as well!  See you there!  And thanks for popping in today!

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, not any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38
