I have a container on my work table that I put new purchases/gifts in so I have them easily at hand to give them a try. Due to some "retail therapy" I now have two containers that are chock full of goodies that I treated myself to or was gifted by someone else. This Memory Box Peaceful Dove die was in there. And, since this Concord & 9th Geode stamp set was in there too I tried putting them together along with the PEACE sentiment die for this fortnight's challenge at the Jingle Belles.
I stamped the geode in VersaMark on watercolor paper using my MISTI and first sprinkled some silver EP in places and then went back with white EP for the rest of it. Then I used some Color Burst powders for the geode and the background. The spotty background was just water droplets left to stand for a bit and then mopped up.
The dove is popped up on slivers of dimensionals and I have already made note to pick up some sticky back foam sheets to use in the future with these delicate dies that I want to be more dimensional because it was a bit time-consuming cutting up little pieces of dimensionals and trying to find places on the die cut to use them where they wouldn't be too noticeable. Perseverance won out though.
Going to scoot over to the Jingle Belles and have little look at all the Peaceful creations there.
This is lovely!
