Two Turtle Doves

Is it really only 2 more weeks till Christmas?   The days went by so slowly when we were waiting for the birth of our grandson, but time's flying by so quickly now!    My Christmas tree is still sitting in a bucket out in the patio and I have so many more Christmas cards to make!   When is the deadline for mailing?   Oh my, I feel a panic attack coming on, lol.  Can I blame it all on sweet grandbaby Tate?    He's so precious I tell you!

The images I stamped on my card today are Belles 'n Whistles "Two Turtle Doves" and La Blanche "Fantasy" using the masking technique (for more on this technique, see Alice's fabulous masking tutorial here).   I colored her with Copics and lightly sponged around the inner edges of the Nestie die with Old Paper Distress Ink and the outer edges of the DP/CS with Picket Fence Crackle Paint.   My tag was punched out from the Glitter Paper Pad and the rest of the DP is from Webster's Pages.  I glittered the flowers and leaves with Stickles so I could enter my card in the B 'n W Challenge "Sparkle" for fun.    Oh, and just in case you want her too, this adorable image is now on sale at the Belles 'n Whistles store  ;)

That's it for me today, I know you're also busy busy busy with the holidays.   Take a deep breath and enjoy the holiday season!   And for all your sweet congratulatory comments and emails on the birth of our grandbaby Tate and for sharing in the joy with me, a huge THANK YOU!    MWAH!
