Hello sweet friends!
Welcome to another Fun~day Friday Challenge!!
Before we get to today's challenge, May I ask each of you to keep my family and I in your prayers? Tonight we have a major snow storm coming in that will be dumping at least 6-10 inches of snow on us from tonight into Sunday night, but what I am fearful of, is the coastal floods. I live right off the water and we are expected to get extreme to major flooding. The news channels are saying this is going to be the worst flooding since Hurricane Sandy. If you followed that story then you know how dangerous this could be for our town. I literally have the Bay in my back yard and the ocean is only 4 blocks from my home. I just ask if you could say some prayers that we make it through this storm okay and that the flooding is minimal at best.
Thank you so much.

This is my first project of the new year! I am super excited to be creating again but I feel like I am off my game a bit. Yikes! LOL
In any case, here is the card I created using Robyn's Fetish's Gilded Christmas Dove and I made sure to use Blue and green with embossing.
I love this bird! And since I think this bird is so beautiful, I wanted to keep it as the main focal point. So to do this, I kept everything clean and white. My card base is a standard A2 size. My first layer was cut using Spellbinder's A2 matting basics B rectangle and was embossed using a Craftwell embossing folder. My second layer was cut using Spellbinder's Majestic Labels Eight and is popped up on some 3d mounting foam. I colored this sweet dove in using my Clean Color Real Brush markers. My sentiment is from My Creative Time's "Once upon a time" stamp set. To finish the card I added a few enamel dots from MME and added some clear wink of stella to certain areas on the bird. Here are a few more photos that show the wink of stella.
Now let's see what the FFC Design Team has created for this Challenge:
