Christmas Peace Dove

Good morning !   I'm entering this Peace Dove card in Outlines "Friendly Fliers" challenge this week.  You can find the information and the Design Team creations at Outlines Blog .


I used Outlines G1117 Peace Dove and F1124 Posy Winter Greetings to create this card.  The Peace Dove is a beautiful stamp that I wanted to start using to create some of my Christmas cards for this year !   I stamped and embossed the image twice with gold.    I used Tom bows to colour the images and cut-out an extra wing & star which are popped up for a little dimension.   The paper is from Memory Keepers - Peppermint and Kaisercraft - Mary.   Liquid Pearls, Xmas Red & Diamond Stickles, Starform border stickers & ribbon were added for the finishing touches ! 


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day !
Shirley

Hi Shirley here I am again. Thanks for your visit. But you wrote on my blog that you couldn't read my description, so I have tried to translate it in Enlgish. Maybe you can look again so (I hope) you can read what I have done. But my English is not perfect.
Lovely greet
Marja
