doves mini canvas

Good morning all! When this goes live I should be just heading out of the door for a 9 mile run - I have to go so early because of the heat - I find its the only way to run and cope with this heat! Plus it means my exercise is all over by 9am - a pretty good feel good factor I think! I think we'll be heading off to the zoo at Blackpool later. I wonder how the animals there are coping with the heat. Here's how my two little monkies coped with the heat at Fell Foot Park Yesterday:

Today I've got a mini canvas to share with you:



I've used distress paints on the background and overstamped with some  text stamps from paper mania. I did use some crackle medium on here too but without success. The doves are a mask by Imagination Crafts and I've used Amethyst Sparkle medium. The text is a dylusions stamp and the hills/ flowersare just torn paper and the same paper cut with spellbinders cherry blossom die. Its quite pretty - not what I initailly had in mind but okay!!!

I'd like to enter this canvas into the following challenges:
SFTWstampinfortheweekend: Sparkle and bling
A creative romanceacreativeromance: No DPs
Polkadoodlespolkadoodle: Let it fly
