I Love this card... there is so much going on with it! Lots of New things I haven't tried and as you can see I try lots of new things all at the same time all on the same card but hey! I'm pleased with the result!
I wanted a card with natural colours, and I started with this stamp and thought to use it like an artist has just sketched it! Which of course Elizabeth has but to get this look I stamped the image in versamark so the edges were soft then continued by colouring with my pastel pencils originally I wanted a more sepia look but I can't help add a little colour!

click to enlargeThe Hidden Message... I will have a look if there's a tutorial for this on line, it reminds me of a Jacob's ladder. (IF not I will do a tutorial, I think you should always give the unusual a try!) It's not too easy to find the extra message inside but you can easily guess where it is! I've disguised mine with a mosaic of paper, then stamped the message inside! So if you have any questions leave me a comment at the top of my posts and I will endeavour to answer the best I can!

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous card and I love the image coloured with pastels. Very pretty - ChrissyX
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the most beautiful pastel I have seen in a very long time! I love the softness. It doesn't even look like a stamp! I could frame something like this. How clever to stamp it with versamark then use pastels to color. It still takes a lot of talent to get the shading and depth just right. Truly awesome, Kim.
