Mildredsparrow’s First Pennsationals Handmade For The Season Blog Hop

Welcome to my very First Blog Hop, you may have found your way to my blog through the lovely Jane over at Cards 4 You by Jane.

The idea came to me after making my first Christmas card but I wanted something different that stood out & showed off Mildredsparrow’s Designs.

Lost Lagoon, Smoky slate & Whisper White Card stock are fast becoming my go to colours, I love these combinations together. I first stamped my Dove out onto lost lagoon then I punched out a 2″ circle & stamped only the front of the dove onto smoky slate.

Stamping dove onto smoky slate & lost lagoon.

The idea is to try & match them then stick & create the one dove using

2 different card colours.

I then stamped my design paper with the lovely Flurry of Wishes photopolymer stamps onto Whisper White using lost lagoon ink, I love making my own design.

Once all stamped I stuck down my lost lagoon backing colour added the design paper & started cutting & sticking my dove down I used dimensionals to help pop the dove off the card to help give it a flying effect.

Once all in place I used rhinestones for the eye of the dove, added them to the wings & tail, who doesn’t like a little bling! Next in line you should check out the lovely Rebecca over at The Paperand Stamp Addict.
