Groovy Times - Creation #5

I created a Christmas card for my 5th creation using the "Groovy Times" cartridge.

 

The card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4."  The burgundy mat is 4 1/4"x6" and the white mat is 4 1/8"x5 7/8."  The green circle is 3," the green banner is 3"x3/4" and the red banner is 2 1/2"x1/2."

 

I used the "peace" image found on page 50 for the image of this card.  I cut it at 1 1/2".  The two smaller doves are cut smaller, but I don't remember the size.  I used foam tape to adhere the word peace and the dove on the circle.  The dove on the banners is just adhered down, it is also flipped from the regular image.

 

For the inside I matted it with the burgundy and white again, in the same sizes as the outside.  I used a stamp from My Craft Spot's "Joy to the World" stamp set for the sentiment.  It is stamped in pearlescent ivy ink by Tsukineko.  I then matted it with burgundy and green.  I cut two more doves from "Groovy Times" and adhered them around the sentiment.

 

I chose to use much more traditional Christmas colors for this card since the image I used was quite non-traditional.  It is much more of a hippie peace than the typical Christmas one, but I think it works quite well with the red, green, and gold colors.

 

I made this for the following challenges:
