So yesterday I snuck a little time while the boys were at school to make the card that's been hanging out in my mind for a while. I started with the berries from Beyond Measure, doing a little no line coloring (stamping in a light color, then coloring the image with darker colors). I stamped the berry sprig in antique linen, then colored with copics and cut it out with the coordinating die from the Christmas Spirit Die Set. I highlighted the berries just a bit with a picket fence distress marker, then sponged the edges with antique linen and ground espresso distress inks.
Next I stamped the dove from the set in early espresso, shading lightly with a Copic marker, then die cutting and finally sponging around the edges. For the Luke 2:10 verse, I masked off the Behold portion so the sentiment would fit in on a square die cut, then I stamped some berries on the side, using the same no line coloring technique. Some sponging around the edges of all the panels and a strand of adhesive pearls to accent the paper banner and I was done.
It's contest week at Mojo Monday, so be sure to play along for a chance to win some new Verve!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Such a lovely card
Oh, I love the rustic colors on this. The way you sponged it made the sentiment glow.
Beautiful Julie, I really like the colors and shading around the outside! The dove is very pretty popped up too :)
So pretty!
