Peace On Earth

Here is a quick card for Freshly Made Sketches.   I used Cocoa, Twilight and Colonial White for my cardstock colors on this 5x7 card.   The stamp is Close To My Heart's Glory To God (D1483).  I used with cocoa and gold embossing powders for the images.


I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut my shape for "Peace on Earth".  I cut colonial white piece <Shape 7> at 2".  I layered it on the same shape at 2 1/4".  The ribbon is from the Chocolate Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon.


I made several cards this weekend and I'll be sharing over the next few days so come back to visit!
