This dove is so sereneÂ…I stamped it and the verse onto transparency that I had already cut with a circle cutter - the ink of course, was black Stazon. On the underside of the transparency I painted the dove with several coats of shimmery acrylic paint. This card is almost modular, all the pieces were cut and put together including the bow being tied before the clear image of the dove was put into place with a couple of glue dots. I could easily stamp some of the other images onto circular cut transparency and trade the images out. Although you canÂ’t tell from this angle, the gold brads are paired with rondelles I raided from my beading supplies; they elevate the gold brads and add extra shimmer when looking from the side. The corners of the card are metal corner pieces that are pressed into place. The base of the card and the embossing are done on 90 lb watercolor for the oomph needed to get the embossing to pop, and the base paper is shimmery (camera doesnÂ’t do it justice) melon colored paper from The Paper Company.
Although the details are listed here, there is much more detailed info and closeups on my blog. The entry for this card is here:
