Welcome to the InkPaperStamps stop on the Operation Write Home Blog Hop–The Dog and I are glad to see you!
Our card today is appropriate for anyone you wish to extend greetings to this year.
A harbinger of peace. . . .
Equally at home on a friend’s mantle or a colleague’s desk, this colorful easel card is held open with rhinestone brads. Crumple and crinkle your brown cardstock until it separates, then tear carefully to create North and South America.
Don’t worry about getting it absolutely perfect–strategic placement of the graceful dove covers little imperfections.

Great card!! I love how you did the land!!
REALLY, REALLY love this card. Say hi to the dog and give him an extra treat!!
This is a gorgeous easel card – love how you created the globe!
Love the easel card and the tip about crumpling and separating the paper to make the land masses. It gives it great texture.
I love anything to do with Dove’s and Peace on Earth is a message we love to send anytime of year. I would love to have more instructions on how to make an easel card since this is new to me. Beautiful Card!
How nice of you to contribute to the OWH cause! Terrific idea for an easel card–it could be used on a surface, or up in the Christmas tree too!
Thanks so much for your help in defraying costs for OWH….it is a most worthy cause. If each of us just gets one other person involved….think what we could do!!!
I have not made an easel card yet…love yours. Pretty colors! Hope you reach your fundraising goal!
Love the easel card!!! Nice change from regular cards!
Awesome card Holly! Woof Woof to the dog!

Love the textures.
Beautiful card. LOVE how you created the continents.
Wow. That is so beautiful! I’m loving the “world.” VERY creative!!
This is a beautiful card.
I like the torn paper “land” on the “earth” though I might have opted for a dark green rather than brown. (Personal preference.) The dove “covering” minor “imperfections” is just brilliant! Wonderful composition on this card! thank you for sharing! (And for donating to OWH!)
Very pretty!
