Flying Peace Dove

Happy Wednesday!
Hope your holiday was wonderful!
We are still in Tennessee and the weather is cold. Not to my liking but spending time with family makes up for it! I still have a few Christmas cards to share. If you happen to be like me, I make Christmas cards all year long so I love to have some inspiration at any time!

My card today is made with  an Outlines Rubber Stamp that my sister gave to me for my birthday in November. I LOVE this stamp! She even sent me some instructions that were on the Outlines website, so I used them but changed the color scheme. I have some more cards planned with different colors, that you will most likely see in the near future.

I stamped the image twice on cryogen iridescent white with Memento Tuxedo Black and cut out the dove and star on one. The images are colored with Copics. The base image was cut out with a Spellbinders circle die and I airbrushed the background  with an E42 marker. The DP is from the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather paper pad and is cut out with a Spellbinders Grand Scallop Circle die and adhered to another cut out of Always Artichoke paper to make the base card. I used Viva Decor White Pearl Pen on the outer edge of the scallops and added Swarovski crystals to the star and tail swirls.

  2. Hi Peggy
    That's a really nice card...it is always a funny feeling to see someone using a paper pack on the other side of the world that I have too. LOL!! From hot and sunny (not cold or snowing) Australia, Vikki.
