I'm thoroughly enjoying making some tags for Loll Thompson's Twelve Days of Christmas mixed media tag event. I don't think I'll get 12 made but hope to do at least six.
You can see the mother of pearl look in the background - done by pouncing a scrunched piece of cling wrap in sparkly white liquid ink and then pouncing that onto the cs. When dry, I sponged over it with various blue Distress inks - the liquid ink acts as a resist. Then cut it out with a tag die cut.
I added a dove die cut in sparkly cs. I die cut two of the main body and glued them together, but just one of the separate small wing - it gives a nice dimensional effect to the wings. The small die cut snowflakes were randomly tapped with my Versamarker and heat embossed with sparkly ep. The sentiment is attached with dotted ribbon to match the ribbon at the top.

Gorgeous background for your beautifully and sparkly dove. Love the combination of blue inks ... so pretty! And the glitter you've randomly added to the snowflakes matches perfectly with the dove. Great job!! Thanks again for joining my tag event!! xx
