Two Turtle Doves

Hello everyone from a rather cold and extremely soggy Bournemouth.  I was intending to have this post up earlier than 11 o'clock this evening but with one thing and another I am now only just finishing it off.

So my post today is my Dies to Die for DT card and is still a little Christmas inspiration for you.  I have a couple of cards left to make but these are my 'special' cards to close family and they always seem to get done last for some reason.  Anyway, I do love making criss cross cards so that is what I did in fact I think all of my special cards will be this year.  I used the very cute 'Two Turtle Doves' and used my copics to colour it in.

Image:  'Two Turtle Doves' by Whimsy Stamps

Sentiment:  Whimsy 'Tis the Season Notables 5'

Papers:  Maja 'Vintage Winter'

Dies:  Cheery Lynn 'Spring Oval Frame'

Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad

Lace with pearl centre

'White Opal' Liquid Pearls

 

I'm so in love with these papers they are divine and I found it extremely difficult to cut into them I must say.  The inside sleeve is quite plainly decorated with just a part image stamped into the corner and a sentiment.  The pull out tab is in fact a Cheery Lynn oval die which I have just cut in half and attached. 

 

A close up and isn't she lovely.  I added some Stickles for the snow and some Liquid Pearls for the falling snow.
