I combined the sketch from Becky with Flourishes Christmas Spirit challenge #5 for Sept. You can read and play along with the challenge all of Sept. here. It's a great way to get your Christmas cards done early and you never know you might WIN a Flourishes Christmas set by playing along. Dove and Holly has to be in my top 5 favorite sets from Flourishes and in my top 2 fav Christmas sets. So after I saw the sketch Becky had for me I just knew I was using this set. I colored the doves first using the Copic Collections Sky , Water and a touch of Warm neutrals. The leaves are colored using Evergreen and Spring Greens. I stamped on another sheet the holly on the sentiment panel and cut it out and popped them up on dimensionals. I also have the Doves cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I used the swiss dots folder for the bottom part of the card and the ribbons as the center panel. I thought this sketch was a lot of fun and very versatile with what you can do with it.
Thanks for looking.

Wow,Stac, this is really gorgeous! Love the white/blue together with that double ribbon. I'm still in awe how you always bring something new and different to the gallery. This is striking in those colors.
