I think I dare to say that spring has finally arrived to my part of the world. With the sun out and the birds singing I got inspired to make a card with one of my newest (and soon to be favourite) stamp. I just LOVE the bird theme. The image I have here is called Peony and it's one of the newer ones by ching chou kuik. It's from plate 97.
The papers I have are from die cuts with a view Mariposa line. I got them from my sweetheart after his trip to the US :) Unfortunately the pics don't do the papers justice. They are very glittery and the birdcage background is in gold foil. As the papers were so beautiful I wanted to keep the layout simple and make them work with the image. After choosing the papers I coloured the image with promarkers to match. The text is handwritten. Oh, and I added some gold glitter glue to her flower to make it match the papers and stand out a bit. Hope you can feel the spring coming too.
Gorgeous Katarina! I love the DCWV papers and have some myself so I know how glitzy they are IRL.
ReplyDeleteLove your text and how you popped the bird over your layers, nice effect.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute sentiment to accompany such a gorgeous card. Your coloring is so beautiful Katarina, and I adore the glitter.

Katarina this is so gorgeous. I love that DP and I too find it hard to cover up paper when it is so beautiful. So I try to keep them simple and let the paper be more of my embellishments.
