Merry Christmas to you all...

It's that time... a few days of well earned time with family and very close friends... as we can this year... though sadly my brother ended up stuck in Boston, USA as he caught Covid at just the wrong time to catch his flight over here... 

I would also like to say rest... but that isn't the case for we "head chefs"... especially when the usual 3 days of Christmas cheer and over-eating turns into 5 (as is the case this year!)

Have a VERY Merry Christmas and I hope you are spending special times with family and friends this season... 

And remember these - these are the Simply Created Banners in a Kit available from Stampin' Up! a few years back... the ones with the alphabet & pattern stencils and the spritzer bottles - though we used sponge brayers and sponges- as the spritzers didn't work for me on this occasion... lots of excess seapage... though I do really rate them generally...

Used along with the Peppermint & Gingerbread papers - simples!

Simple for Saturday - Blended Peaceful Place #3

 

I was asked to do the Northern Lights technique with my Peaceful Place papers... but my mojo had other ideas...

So same technique... but more subtle!

One Blender brush... 3 blues... Balmy Blue... then Misty Moonlight and finishing off around the edges with Night of Navy...

Edited to Add -  I have written up up a PDF tutorial bundle for 6 of my Peaceful Place cards... and I offer a Class in the (UK only) post too... See HERE for more details

Simply perfectly peaceful card! And such fun too... 

And created from a paper scrap... but more on the other another day!

Though I now hope to be able to create a truer Northern Lights version... as friends have just sent me some fabulous "real" photos from their trip away... so won't that be a great Christmas card for them!
