Hello, crafty friends! I am so excited to be a part of Altenew’s February Release. This release is absolutely amazing!
The project below is a beautiful dove from the Creative Cuts: Doves in Flight Layering Die Set, and this bird is huge – I love it!!!
This project was pretty easy. I don’t have any cloud stencils so I used torn copy-paper in different positions to create my clouds. I used the Cloud White Pigment Ink on Misty Morning Cardstock. I love how they turned out.
I die cut the large dove from Creative Cuts: Doves in Flight Layering Die Set and used some ink for the feet and the beak. Kinda nice having minimal ink blending. 😊
I don’t know how Altenew does it, but their Mini Delight Stamp & Die Sets never disappoint – February’s is no different.
I stamped the flower cluster and used it for the background of my shaker. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to make a shaker balloon!
This next project I used the beautiful Serene Garden embossing folder. I pulled out some purple paper and planed on adding some color, but I thought it would work on it’s own with a simple sentiment and large black border. I think it’s a beautiful CAS card.

GREAT MAKES! Your dove card and the shaker balloon are fabulous. I love the Serene Garden one, too. The idea of tomorrow being a new day and the ‘blank slate’ of the CAS card really go together. Your work is synonymous with elegance!
