The theme for this month’s IRBH is Vacation. When I was trying to decide what to use for my project, I looked through all the great stamp sets I have. I could’ve made something about the beach, or any number of places like that. But when I thought about what I’ve really loved about my favorite vacations, I realized I love being someplace peaceful and quiet, with no everyday noise, where I can just relax and think. Then I came across the Peaceful Place stamp set and I knew that was it. I wanted to make a card that was peaceful and quiet and gentle, like a whisper. So I used Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White, two of the softest colors in the Stampin’ Up! line up. I hope you like what I’ve come up with.
