The top card has the blue card base with a layer of watercolor paper that I sponged with DI Tumbled Glass. The Dove was cut from plain white CS. The Power Poppy sentiment is stamped with DI Broken China.
The second card is the same as the first but I added the sprig of green cut with the same die.

I am not sure why I water colored on the plain CS but sponged ink on the watercolor paper. It seems I should have done that in reverse but I liked the results. Maybe the next time I will do that.
The bottom card is with a White Card base and a Blue CS layer embossed with CB EF Divine Swirls. The Dove is cut from a White Textured CS and centered on the card. All Doves where attached with pop up tape. I think using foam cut with the die would work really well but I do not have any white foam. The sentiment Peace on Earth was cut from an embossed border of Glossy White CS with Christmas words. No stamping on this card.
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash for our No Stamping challenge.
These are all so beautiful - wonderfully CAS. I love the middle one the best because I think the swirl in the sentiment goes so well with the curves of the bough in the dove's beak, and the green makes it pop a bit. I really love the watercolor background. Lovely piece of work. Thanks so much for linking up and playing with us at AAA Cards.
