52 Christmas Card Throwdown's Stash challenge wants us to use our stamps. The ABC Christmas Challenge is "w for wings". I went with a beautiful dove stamp where the dove has his wings spread wide.
I stamped the bird and sentiment on watercolour paper in dark blue and
heat embossed. I watercoloured the bird with light blue paint. Trimmed
the panel with a square die, and cut the next size up of square dies
out of blue glitter cs. I die cut three small snowflakes out of the
centre of the blue glitter cs, then layered the dove panel onto the blue
glitter cs, and glued the three little snowflakes on the dove panel. I
used an off white cs for the card base as it matches the watercolour
paper better than white cs.
Try It on Tuesday wants to see snowflakes.
A third card for today as I needed to make a thank you card for a friend who took me out for my birthday. It's going to Sisterhood of Crafters who want to see Thanks.
My friend has a horse so a card depicting a horse is perfect for her. I sponged a background with various blue Distress inks, then cut the die cut out of a square of white cs, layered it over the background, and added a simple sentiment.
