This is my second attempt with this image. I was having problems getting the shading right on the wings so this time I just added a bit if grey then outlined the grey with my clear glitter spica pen. I loved the simplicity of it so I carried it on with the rest of the image.
I have never made a card like this (vintage-like) because I had no idea where to start. After admiring so many vintage style cards I thought I would start out small with lots of distressing - on the doily, paper and flower (although I think I could have done more distressing around the image itself, next time!).
All and all, I'm happy with the result and I hope you are too!
Now it's your turn to show us your diamonds or pearls. Personally, I favor diamonds but then again, I wouldn't turn down pearls if they were offered instead!
