Elegant Swan Card for Erin Lee Creative

Hello friends, I'm back with another project for Erin Lee Creative, featuring products from the Birds of a Feather release. The swan symbolizes love, purity and grace and I wanted to create a clean and graceful look. I think I was successful, what do you think? Scroll down for creative details. I'll have a clickable supply list at the end, as well.

Let's start with my die cut, using the new Jumbo Vintage Rose Die. I cut this rose image with my Platinum 6 die cut machine, using two different colors of pink cardstock.

Instead of gluing, I opted to use a trimmed piece of an adhesive sheet to piece my die cuts together. I pulled off the liner and adhered the dark pink outline rose die cut, discarding the inner die cut pieces. 

Next, I added the inner pieces from the light pink die cuts to my rose. When done, I simply trimmed off the excess adhesive sheet, going all around my rose with scissors, trimming just under the outside edge of the rose.

I absolutely love the beauty of the new Elegant Swan Die. Since I'm going for a clean look for this card, I wanted to create a shadow for my swan, so it didn't blend in too much with all the white space.

I die cut my swan in black and adhered it slightly offset to the back of my white swan die cut. I didn't have the right color of cardstock that I wanted for the beek, so I swiped some color onto some scrap white cardstock with my OLO Marker OR4.4, Rosy Bonnet, and then die cut over that coloring.

My sentiment is from the new Take Care Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies. There are 10 sentiments in this die set and each one has it's own outline die. Those are some of the details that I love about Erin's products! 

 

All of my elements are popped up with adhesive foam. I also glued some clear drop embellishments and added some black spatters using my Dylusions Black Magic Shimmer Spray. I simply unscrewed the bottle and tapped the feeder tube around my card. I generally let this dry naturally, it doesn't take long. It was such a pleasure making this card and I hope you like it!
