For my first card I used them as they were intended and made a bright blue Christmas card. I stamped the image onto some white card then cut out little masks of all the doves. This took a while! I then masked off the two panels and got out my Splodge Away mat. I brayered over them with Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze. For the co-ordinating mat I used a sponge and randomly applied the different blues to the card. It was looking a bit bare, so I added a couple of decoupaged blue doves to finish it off.
For my second card I decided to use the doves to make a wedding card. It's done with Centura Pearl card in Snow White and matted onto gold mirri. The colour I've added is from a Distress Ink pad in Antique Linen. I used some Cut-n-Dry foam to apply it to the centre strip, then I used a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder to give it some texture. Cut-n-Dry nibs were used to apply the colour to the doves and church.
I just couldn't get a decent photo of it so I've added a couple. One shows off the detail better, the other the embossing. I need to improve my photography skills!
Hi Lynne, I love both of these cards and am so impressed that you cut masks out for all the doves. I can see that this stamp has so many possibilities. Keep up the good work. X
ReplyDeleteThe dove card to me was my faourite in show. Not only my faourite but I think I heard Dawn Bibby say it was hers, 10 doves and 10 sets of wings you got it right.
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful to come up with a Christmas card as well as a wedding one - versatility at its very best.
ReplyDeleteYou may feel the need to work on your photographs but, honestly, we are seeing the quality of your work, Lynne.
I love them all.....still think the Blues (Doves and Noel) are my fave but honestly these are all Brilliant......xxxx
