may there be peace on earth

my deepest wish for all of us is peace on earth.
my tag today expresses this wish and is also a part of the december tags of christmas at gecko galz.

products: background designer paper by my mind's eye; "o holy night" collage sheet by gecko galz; foliage and border from anna griffin christmas card kit; peace on earth stamp by creatiate stamps; angel and star sticker from my stash. 

instructions: starting with a cardboard base, i cut the size and shape of tag i wanted and covered it with the designer paper, distressing the edges with ink.  i stamped my sentiment, cut it out and set it aside.  i had several elements i wanted to include on this tag so i tried several ways of arranging them before i started gluing them down.  once i settled on the design i glued all other elements down with a glue stick.
