I made this card for todays free for all challenge.
The challenge was to use a color(s) that you don't normally use, and to use a bird on your card. I'm trying to get some Christmas cards out of the way so I used the dove from A wish for peace, I used white paper, black ink and glitter gel pen for the wings.
I used vanilla as my base. I seldom use vanilla. I should use it more. I used garden green as my mat. Not a huge fan of this green. The back piece is 4x3 the SU dsp is 1/8 smaller.
I used the holly from Sleigh Bells ring, and used my marker in garden green (don't have the stamp pad) and stamped my image. The first diamond is cut at 3 inches, the second is cut at 2-1/2 inches.
Then I used vanilla
