Peace – Joy – Love! What better sentiment for the holiday season! That’s exactly what you’ll find on today’s Dove of Hope holiday card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, I am hosting our Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. I have selected a variety of items for you to incorporate on your project. Just choose at least three elements across, down or diagonally. We can’t wait to see what YOU create!
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
For my three elements, I went down a diagonal: patterned paper, embossing, die cut. The paper, from the Artistry Blooms collections, certainly saves a lot of work. It gives the impression of a water color wash with spatters, without any of the time and work involved.
For the embossing, I used one of my new favorite 3D embossing folders, Tasteful Textile. I can’t say enough about this folder. It definitely imparts texture while staying subtle. Of course, the focal point of the card has to be the dove die cut. And to think I almost did not buy the Dove of Hope bundle, which includes the Detailed Dove dies. What was I thinking? These dies are gorgeous!

Thank you for the inspiration, I really loved this card the first time I saw it whilst scrolling through facebook. I have thanked you, for your inspiration on my blog https://margaretlcrawford.blogspot.com/2020/10/christmas-cards-continued-ccc.html
This is the prettiest card I have seen made with the Dove dies. I couldn’t find this paper in the Artistry Blooms dsp. This color is gorgeous. Is it the one in the snowflake splender dsp? I would love to recreate this gorgeous card.
Gorgeous, Ann! Love the soft colors in the background!
Anne, another gorgeous card. I love the textured white layer with that soft gorgeous background for your dove. This is one of my favorite sets this year and you have showcased it beautifully
