Christmas Kickstart Challenge #44 - Peace on Earth



Well, well, well, we've reached the penultimate Christmas Kickstart challenge of 2020.

I'm delighted to be joined by the one and only Shirley Bee for this challenge. 


Shirley will be a very familiar face to many of you out there in Blogland as she is a regular contributor to Craft Stamper Magazine and also designs her own range of stamps (The Bees Knees) over at Stamplorations.

Our theme for this challenge is one which seems especially apt as this strange and difficult year draws to a close:

Challenge #44 - Peace on Earth

For some reason my cards for this one just haven't gone the way I was hoping they would.

Out of the cards I made for this challenge I'm happiest with this card created by painting stripes on watercolour paper. The wording is from a WPlus9 set called Script Peace. It's lovely, and priced very reasonably too.



I'm entering this card over at Lost Coast Challenges where their current theme is Winter Blues.


My next card uses one of Shirley's Bees Knees sets: Houses



And finally a kraft angel, which incidentally is Rudolph's Random Raffle prize for this challenge and the current theme over at Time Out Challenges.


I hope you'll find time to come and play along in this challenge.

Wonderful set of cards-love the ombre look of the first one. And the Angel die is a stunner and in kraft it works so well. You made the perfect background for our Angel to be the star! Thanks for joining Time Out x

Wonderful set of cards Jo. I am loving that watercoloured wash background, I have been practicing them recently on a skillshare class. Now I need to translate it to my cards xx
