Wedding Swans - Sweet Stamps Challenge Blog - Wedding/Anniversary

Hello everyone,  Its Tuesday and that means that its time for another challenge over on

Onto my card for this week's challenge 
This stamp was created by our very own Jacqueline Hill I just love them and look fabulous coloured or left bare.  Jacqueline has created some gorgeous stamps and all are beautiful! She is so talented!! To see more of Jacqueline's Wildlife stamps Click Here

I used a mixture of copics and polychromos pencils to shade my image this week.  I'm really loving this method of shading as you can get such a wonderful effect. 

For the chipboard swirl I painted it in white acrylic, sanded some of the edges then added worn lipstick distress inks.  I then sprayed it with tattered angels glimmer mist for that pearly shimmer.  

I decorated the inside using design paper and dies.
