Dove cards

These cards were fast and easy.

I die cut the doves using a Sizzix

and some bank envelopes I had saved.

I intentionally cut them in different directions but the overall effect remained the same.

Have you ever noticed the variety of patterns

inside security envelopes?

Ones that catch my eye get saved to use as backgrounds.

But when I saw these I immediately thought they would be interesting with this die cut.

I know the current fashion is to use numerous inks and stamps and embellishments.

But I tend to favor simple.

The only glitz besides the glittery background paper is the jewel eyes.

And these are adhesive backed.  

Peel and stick.  It doesn't get any easier than that!

So next time you open your bills or statements 

take a peek at the inside of those envelopes.

You might find something interesting to spark your imagination.
