Love and Marriage Additions

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 ...

Hugs xx

    A really helpful video - I have just started blending backgrounds and will be using stencils once my Xmas wish list is (hopefully) bought! Your collection has inspired me. xxx
