Dove in Flight

I chose to place a dimensional under the right wing of the dove, giving it some dimension. I also added some clear Wink of Stella, allowing the wings to sparkle. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   None

Paper:
   Cloud Cover A-2
   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-5/8 x 2-1/4, 3/4 x 1, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Peaceful Garden DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:
   Balmy Blue
   Darling Duckling
   Soft Sky

Technique:
   CAS
   Die Cutting
   Blending (Sponging)

Accessories:
   Blending Brushes
   Hues of Blue Flowers
   Peace on Earth Dies
   Black Marker (Fine)
   Wink of Stella Brush (Clear)
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Peaceful Garden DSP panel onto a Basic White matte, and then onto the Cloud Cover card front.

I then die cut the dove and envelope. The envelope die cut actually cuts two envelopes at one time. So, just save the other one to use on another card, or glue both together and create a dimensional look. 

Next, I used blending brushes to gently blend ink onto the dove. I used Balmy Blue on the tips of the wings and tail. I then added Darling Duckling onto the belly and a bit of the tail. Lastly, I added a bit of Soft Sky to blend the two colors together. 
    NOTE: Always begin blending on a your scratch paper and slowly move on to the image. This way your splotches will be on the throw away scrap and not on your image.

I then took a black permanent marker with a very fine tip and dotted an eye on the dove.

Next, I adhered the envelope on the card front.

I then added a bit of sparkle to the wings and tail of the dove, using my Clear Wink of Stella brush.

Next, I placed a dimensional on the back of the right wing and liquid adhesive on the rest of the dove. I attached it to the card front, as shown above.

Lastly, I added a few Hues of Blue Flowers on the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
