Hi Everybody,
A really easy card today using the beautiful Love & Marriage Additions to the Christina Collection
I used the border stencil to create the coloured panels in the card and an assortment of Distress Inks
To get the blending add a little more ink as you come onto the card and then fade out to lighter strokes as you more away from the stencil.
I used bright gold card for the heart and wedding rings and accented the panel with black
The second card was done a little more heavy handed and with some of the deeper colours but still the same technique
I add more pearls to the second one and I tried to use the same shade pearl drops as the colour they sat on
The video will show you how I got the look and it is just long enough for a cuppa and a biscuit
Both of the cards are relatively flat and so will fit nicely into a standard sized envelope for posting
It is a really effective look and I was quite happy with the result.
More tomorrow ...
