ODBD 2nd Anniversary-Cotton-ODBD2AC1

This is my entry for the ODBD 2nd Anniversary celebration! Here is all of the exciting information:

Since we are celebrating the Anniversary of Our Daily Bread Designs, we will be focusing on gifts for Anniversaries. Cotton is the traditional gift for the second anniversary. Today's challenge will be to use Cotton in some way…. stamp on cotton, use cotton ribbon, make a cotton flower… get creative.
Be sure to visit the ODBD Blog here, to find out all of the information.

I used Our Daily Bread Designs stamp set "Confirmation". I first stamped the dove in white ink then I stamped a second dove onto white card stock with basic gray ink. I bent the doves wings and tail a bit to give it some dimension, and I added cotton yarn as the olive branch. I'm late getting this posted as I could not find my lace. Found it, as you can see. The frame is from Cornish Heritage Farms, Botanical Bliss-from my Moxie Fab World, winnings.
