A peace-themed Christmas card that will go into the stash for my fundraiser - my best friend always wants 10 different peace / dove themed cards so I make them throughout the year so that I have enough.
I created a smooshed background with a few grey and blue Distress Oxide inks. When dry, I stamped the berry branches and sentiment on it. I added two die cut silver glitter cs doves (stacked twice for some dimension), popped the panel up on fun foam, and used a white pearl pen on the berries.
I'm linking it up with:

We Love Stamping "Anything Stamped with Option of Wings"
Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black Berry Berry stamp, unknown sentiment
Ink - various blue and grey Distress Oxide inks, Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - mixed media cs, silver glitter and white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box dove dies, Viva Decor white pearl pen, fun foam
