For this batch of pink Christmas cards, I was inspired by the masking and blending technique that Lesley of Heffy Doodle showed during last month's Stress Free Cardmaking Summit.
While Lesley used white (masked) trees and blended green ink over it, I decided to use my NBUS dove stamp (Peace on Earth set, Uniko) after seeing Bev, the owner and designer of Uniko, use this stamp set in a recent video. I used Catherine Pooler inks and my blending brushes to do my ink blending.
I also decided to pop up a single bird over my masked sentiment strip for some added interest.
I'm linking up my cards at:
