Jane Netley Mayhew 'Swans' card

Hi folks. Here's another card I made using Joanna Sheen's 'Jane Netley Mayhew' bird rubber stamp collection. I used lots of soft colours and pearly card on this one.

I cut a square of pearlescent white card a smidgen larger than my card blank, used my Nestabilities circle die to cut the aperture. I then embossed the panel with my Fiskars swirly texture plate (through my Cuttlebug) I distressed all the edges using a combination of a distressing tool and my trusty old fingers. I found some lovely aqua mulberry paper in my stash and used that for a layer behind the aperture and for the layer behind that I used pale blue pearlescent paper. I wrapped a ribbon bow around the card. I then stamped the swans and watercoloured them using Lyra Aqua colours. I used my Woodware flower punches and Martha Stewart leaf punch to create the flowers. I finished the flowers off with some self adhesive blue pearls.

Ciao for now!
