" Blue doves of peace "

Photo Details
Poster: wendy2512

 I did color blocking once before and thought when I saw today's challenge I would try it again. A bit out of my comfort zone today, as this style and the bigger bow not usually me....except for the glitter..he-he.
SO I cut a square out of scrap paper and sponged the 2 blues and in the middle blended them for shading. Then I sponged the edge and stamped on the doves. Except when I was sponging the squares I missed a couple tiny spots over the edge so had to think of how to save it so I added the big bow. the doves seemd small in the big squares so I tried to make it look a bit like frosted windows, but in blue, and then the doves looked wierd being not sparkly so I sparkled them up too....it's Christmas can't ever add too much...right....lolol...I hope after adding the bow I know it might be not as cas but hope it will still work..:0)
thanks for visiting...:0)

Wendy--this is a lovely Chirstmas card! I love how you used the glitter to highlight the corners and the doves. Very pretty! TFS

I like that the birds are "flying" in different parts of the blocks. Nice.
