Blue Doves

Blue is beyond all colours in being my favourite colour - I love all shades of it.  So for Can You Handle the Pressure "Blue on Blue Monochromatic", I have this card in a pale aqua blue:

I embossed my background panel and then gently swiped ink over the raised part of it.  I die cut the sentiment out of a scrap of cardstock, and then before I removed them from the cardstock, I rubbed the same ink over the embossed words and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

Both my best friend and I love peace doves as a theme for Christmas cards and have to make several every year for her to buy at my fund raiser each year so while I was making the above card, I decided to make a second peace dove card.  This one is going to Shopping our Stash "Sparkle" and to the Snippets challenge.

A very quick CAS card!  The dove, the leaf, and the sentiment were die cut out of scraps of different colours of glitter cs and out of scraps of white, glued together for more substance, and added to the card base.
