Playing with a Dove

 Hello!  I have been "experimenting" with different versions of a Christmas card made with a Cottage Cutz Dove cut out that I have had a number of years.  These cards were very quick to make....it took me longer to find where the die was in my studio than it did to make all the  cards.
The top card has the blue card base with a layer of watercolor paper that I sponged with DI Tumbled Glass.  The Dove was cut from plain white CS. The Power Poppy sentiment is stamped with DI Broken China.

The second card is the same as the first but  I added the sprig of green cut with the same die.

 This third card has the same card base but the white layer is White CS that I water colored with DI Tumbled Glass.  I like the background that this made for the Dove cut from Watercolor paper which has a nice texture.  I stamped this card with a Spellbinders sentiment also in the DI Broken China.  

I am not sure why I water colored on the plain CS but sponged ink  on the watercolor paper.  It seems I should have done that in reverse but I liked the results.  Maybe the next time I will do that.


The bottom card is with a White Card base and a Blue CS layer embossed with CB EF Divine Swirls.  The Dove is cut from a White Textured CS and centered on the card.  All Doves where attached with pop up tape. I think using foam cut with the die would work really well but I do not have any white foam.  The sentiment Peace on Earth was cut from an embossed border  of Glossy White CS with Christmas words. No stamping on this card.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
