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:
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.
Supplies for card 1:
Ink - Mama Elephant Winter Blue
Paper - white cs
Size - 4.75" square
Accessories - Couture Creations embossing folder, TH sentiment die, clear embossing powder
Supplies for card 2:
Paper - white shimmer cs, two shades of blue glitter cs, white glitter cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Penny Black dove die, Memory Box peace die
Two very nice cards. Thanks for sharing the second one over at the Snippets Playground. See you in the treehouse later. xxx
