We woke up to such bad tragedy in our country today, praying that good will over power evil and we can have peace and show love towards one another and not hate. Praying for all the families in New Orleans that were effected by this terrible act.
I bought 3 Advent Calendars this year, I like opening the doors each day of the month and seeing what fun things are behind them for cardmaking. It was my first year for Anna Griffins had 12 days of tags dies with special little dies to use as the holes in the die or you can leave them plain, so you can mix and match them, plus decorative dies to use on them, foiled cardstock and string to put in them. Diamond Press also had their first advent calendar, and this was my second year to purchase the Spellbinders Advent Calendar and on day 7 they had this pretty layering stencil that I used on this card.
I inked one side then flipped my paper and did it again to get this look, using gems to join them and add a bit of sparkle. That left me just enough room for a sentiment to be stamped at the bottom, I did it on a piece of pattern paper.

I didn't watch the news this morning until I read this. I've been avoiding the news as I've grown weary of the things that go on in the world. I do not understand what drives people to acts such as this. Thank goodness for your lovely card to bring back some of the beauty.
Yes, our UK news has been following the tragic and terrible event in New Orleans. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
Thank you for showing us your lovely card.
All the best Jan
My heart also goes out to New Orleans. ❤️
Your design really captured attention with the large design you created. Such a cute stencil to receive in your Advent calendar.
My prayers are with all affected in NOLA and across the country. Your card is beautiful, Connie xoxo
Love the mirrored imaged you created. So happy and sunshiny--that's what I wish for 2025...and to a health! Cheers!
Happy New Year, Connie! Your card is absolutely stunning. The way you used the layering stencil from the Spellbinders Advent Calendar is so creative, and the gems add such a lovely sparkle. It's always a joy to see your beautiful creations. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the tragedy in New Orleans. Wishing you a year filled with peace, love, and creativity.
