Christmas Card kits - Card #11 - peaceful dove with an embossed vellum greeting

A friend of mine who is an enthusiastic card maker has asked for a set of Christmas card kits.  She is very creative and likes to make the card her own.  

For the first card I worked around a white dove die cut (SX).  I layered this one over a dark purple oval (Nestibilities).  It was mounted over a mottled paper (printed digital background) to which I had added a stamped and embossed PEACE greeting (Recollections) on vellum simply folding the ends to the back and securing with double sided tape.  The torn edges of the greeting go well with the mottled background.  The dove is mounted over the oval using 3D foam tape to give it a bit of dimension.  

I made a few different colours to give a bit of variety to the kits.
