This is another Christmas card for my 2021 stash! I do love this Stampin' Up dove stamp and die set that I used, which I'm surprised wasn't carried over into the annual catalog.
I wanted to use vellum for the dove, which I underlaid with Tempting Turquoise and added silvery wreath. I thought a night sky would be pretty, and I found a pretty piece of dsp with deep to mid-range blue tones. To complete the look of my night sky, I embossed the dsp with the SU Winter Snow embossing folder and then sprinkle/ splattered it with white acrylic paint. It was just the look I wanted.
I used a silver heat-embossed sentiment on vellum with the Tempting Turquoise as an underlay mat as I did with the dove. I modified this die-cut mat, cutting it down narrower to fit the width I wanted. Take a look below at the finished card:
