Colorblocked Peace

Here's my card for this week's SCS clean and simple challenge. The sketch challenge took less than 10 minutes to complete from start to finish, thanks to the trio of color blocks and the already die cut felt dove I used for the card.

The monochromatic color blocks were created by inking different sized clear stamping blocks with three blue inks and pressing the inked blocks to a white card base. I have a bunch of die cut white felt doves leftover from a previous project and the dove made a nice accent for the card. It's attached with a little ScorTape--sticky tapes like these are my preferred adhesive for felt pieces. To give the dove shape some definition, I added a blue crystal as an eye. The "peace" sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Holiday Tree set is stamped on the card in silver ink for a final sparkly touch for the simple design.

Materials Used:
Holiday Tree stamp set, Peace Be Still die (Papertrey Ink); Blue Bayou, Baja Breeze, and Soft Sky inks (Stampin' Up!); Encore Silver ink (Tsukineko); blue crystal (Recollections); white felt
