My parents anniversary is coming up soon..so what better occasion than to create a card for them!
I also wanted to break open the new distress inks my sister got me for xmas.. I had a general idea about how I wanted the card to look, but again my small stash did not contain the exact image I wanted so off to google I went..I googled some images and found some really sweet ones and printed them out.
Using my Finecolor markers, I coloured the two birds and the tree branch. I fussy cut them out and then worked on my card panel. I wanted to color the whole panel except for a small area around the birdies, so I cut a circle mask from some scrap paper and using removable adhesive I placed it on my card panel at the required spot. Using some makeup sponges ( I yet have to invest in the foam blending tool) and the Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed distress inks I created a sunset kind on look on the background. Then to distress it more I splashed some water on the card, let it sit for a few seconds and then dabbed it off using a paper towel. This created a nice water splashed look.
Finally I cut the card panel using Lawn Fawn scallop dies. I removed the circle mask and then adhered the fussy cut image on it using some foam tape to give it more dimension. Finally I used some wink of Stella and glossy accents on the birds and the hearts & sprinkled some sequins to finish the card.
This is how it turns out..
That's it for now..thanks for stopping by!
Cheers,
Tej
