For my project today I thought I would make a Shaped card. While on Spellbinders blog I noticed a beautiful card, and step-by-step tutorial on how to make one, so I followed along and loved the way it turned out. Due to the height of the card (7 1/2"), I had a hard time taking a good picture in my small little space, so I had to lay it down, and when I do that the lighting is not the best...
I wanted my card to have a soft feel, so I used tissue paper on the stork, and baby blanket, using glue to attach each, then lightly colored with Copic Markers. In real life the wings look cool, very soft the effect I was looking for.
Don't forget you can click on the pictures for a larger view, and all supplies are listed/linked below.
Hugs Linda
