Peace Dove with Floral

Hello friends - welcome back on this inspirational Monday ☺

I have a Christmas card featuring the Holiday Dove w/ Floral die from the Christmas Part 2 release at The Scrapping Cottage!

I played in the color challenge at Splitcoast Stampers again (#CC921):

I got out my Let It Snow 6x6" paper pad from Doodle Bug Designs and found a paper that had all those cute colors in it! So even though it is flowery, I think it totally goes with this beautiful die!

12 Months of Christmas Link-Up

Anything Goes with an optional twist: Use patterned paper

And I played in the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #187

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Thick White Cardstock - 5-1/2" square, top folding card base

• Flowery paper from Let it Snow - 5-1/4" square

• Pink Hearts paper (oldie from SU!) - 4-1/8" x 3-7/8"

• White Cardstock - Die cut largest of the Nested Scalloped Rectangles *With the extended cut technique to make it slightly larger than the Heart paper

• White Cardstock - Die cut the largest of the Nested Stitched Scallop Circles set

• Die cut the Holiday Dove w/ Floral from the following cardstock colors:

White / Granny Apple Green / Melon Mambo / Bermuda Bay

***Use my card photo at top to assemble your layers***

I colored the beak, flower centers and dove with Copic marker on the white die-cuts. Then I gave the Melon Mambo flowers some shadows with a Copic marker and white gel pen highlights.
