I'm still in love with making shaped cards with my Spellbinder's Grand Dies. I used the Grand Scalloped Square for this card, covering the entire card front with pattern paper cut from the same die. I thought this little dove might be cute in a pinky theme. Since the dove had the little olive branch in his beak, thats where the green came in to play.
I stamped the image twice, cutting out an extra dove and star to use to pop up over the originals. You can see here (http://onekraftykat.blogspot.com/201...y-in-pink.html) the Copic Markers I used to color the image. Really just two colors going on, which made it really quick and easy. I added airbrushing around the edges, before removing the nestie from the die using RV11.
Olivine Swarovski Crystals added extra sparkle (sizes 5,7,9 and 12). I also used the Viva Glass Effect Gel Pen to add a little shine over the leaves. On the scalloped edges of the green layer... a Viva Cream Pearl Pen to add small pearl embellishment.... I also added teeny tiny pearls on the hearts in the wings, using a toothpick to apply the pearl pen. A teeny little black pearl pen dot for the eye too! Straight line layers were all done using Perfect Layers Rulers. You can see I curved the two "extra" pieces, using Dimensional Silicone to pop them up.
