One Stamp Please


     There is a Flourish challenge on SCS to make a Christmas card that is flat and would only take one stamp to mail.
     I decided to use the Dove and Holly set from Flourishes.  It is colored with Copics, highlighted with Brilliance Sky Blue ink and a dash of glitter.  I used Diamond Glaze on the berries. 
     The paper is Memory Box.  I thought this CB folder would frame the doves beautifully.  It is so fu-fu you don't need embellishments. 
     This was a great challenge.  Seems as if you always need extra Christmas cards at the last minute.  Just think, I won't have to stand in line at the post office nor will they be returned to me after Christmas needing more postage!  Been there, done that!

  1. Linda this is beautiful. I love the way you colored your image. It looks great with the soft blue behind the doves. The background really accents your main image. Great job.

  5. This is a pretty card, but you know me, I'm a "die-hard traditionalist" and I like my Christmas cards red and green! Don't mind me, it's just your friend "J" sounding off.
