Swan Love Song



Hi all, it’s time for another New Release at Digistamps4Joy. We have some absolutely gooor-geee-ous images to show you today. I’ll tell you, Margy is really on a roll! The image that we all got to play with today is called Reed Swan. One of our DT asked Margy if she could draw a swan and so she did. But….she also gave us a “sneak peak” at another image that she is releasing today and I but luck managed to get my hands on it. So I am showing you my card made with Reed Swan and Mom and Cygnets

Are they not just beautiful? I was so excited at being able to play with both of these fabulous images. As soon as I saw them I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Many years ago when I first started making cards I came across this tutorial for making the type of card that I made for today. I started out by printing out the image on some white cs. I then traced it on tracing paper and then traced it onto my card base (base is 5.5 x 5.5) at the fold. Then I cut out the image using my craft utility knife, making sure that I did not cut into the actual fold. I colored the image on the white cs and then fussy cut it out and glued it to the image cut out of my base. I then took some more tracing paper and sponged different shades of blue onto to mimic the water in the pond. This I glued to what would have been the back of the card (where the hole was from my cut out image). Now it’s important that you glue it here because this is the effect you get when you shine the light behind and to the side of it. 


That’s right, you get what looks like a reflection in your pond. I hope that you have enjoyed seeing my creation and learning how I did it. Now head on over to our Challenge Blog to check out what my team mates have come up with and see the rest of the new releases.
