Peace on Earth

Isn't that a great wish?  Peace on earth?  I've been listening to a great song by Casting Crowns for the last couple of weeks.   Listen to I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day!  It touches my heart in a way I can't explain.  (Casting Crowns does an amazing job with a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  Great song!  Anyway, that is what inspired this card.  Mo's has this great image Ragged Angel.  She is so sweet.

I colored this beauty with my Prismacolor pencils.  I'm pleased with her skin again and the colors.  I've used some colors I haven't used before and I like the vintage feel of them.

The papers are from MME.  I love their papers.  This collection is called Lost and Found.  I found mine at Hobby Lobby.  I used mine up, I'll be going back for more very soon, like this week!!  The back right panel is embossed with my Cuttlebug embossing folder "Snowflake".  I distressed all the edges by running them over my brown ink pad.  I added some twine, it has a rustic feel that I thought went well with this image and the papers.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid.  I just received a new order and I can't wait to play with them more.

I printed the words from the original poem and made a tag.  I think its a great size to be used as a bookmark. 

Here's the inside.

The top panel shows off the gorgeous design papers.  I printed all the sentiments from my computer.  I don't know what color I ended up using, but its somewhere between a brown and grey.  A little softer than black.  It goes with the image, the song and the feel I was going for.

Here's the writing panel.  I had to show off the companion for the design paper.

The back shows off the design paper and my custom stamp.
