Hi everyone. Today's card is for several challenges - love when that happens :) First, the latest challenge at Merry Monday #97 - Sparkle & Shine with Aqua, White and Silver/Gray.
The card is also for the challenges at ATS&M #84 - CAS (I do LOVE CAS!) ... and LoveFest2014 Challenge H - Heartfelt Greetings - hosted by My Favorite Things. And last, but not least, I'm also entering it into the latest challenge at CAS-ology - #84 - Paint (I used the shimmer paint to create my background).
The dove die belongs to my friend Susan, and she brought it along the other day when we had some crafting time together. The dove is so gorgeous!! I glued it to the mother-of-pearl background and then mounted the whole piece onto a larger (same width, but longer) piece of heavy card stock for stability ... I stamped the sentiment at the bottom. I added a double strand of silver cording (a gift from Susan) and tied a little piece off to one side for interest. Fun and easy card to make.
Thanks Susan for letting me die-cut these beautiful doves ... and for the silver cording - you are so generous!!

Wow! This is a beautiful die cut and the perfect background with the shimmer! Love that silver cord too. Another beautiful Christmas card, Loll! Thanks for sharing it at Merry Monday!
Beautiful card - I love your white on white set up for the design. Can I have permission to use it on a Christmas card?
