DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: NEW RELEASE :: 'TO HAVE AND TO HOLD'


Although it’s Easter weekend for many of us, we at Digistamps 4 Joy would love to share some new releases in the store this weekend.
One of them is this image called ‘TO HAVE AND TO HOLD’, another image that I drew myself, and is now available as a digistamp in the Digistamp 4 Joy store.
Here is the card I made with the new image :


 
I coloured the image using alcohol markers, Stickles and a white gel pen, and kept the card very CAS.  
Here is a better view :

To give the illusion of a very transparent veil, I added threads of the invisible (nylon) that I used to sew on the beads:

The silver swirl is a stick-on.

With Spring now in the Northern Hemisphere, there should be many weddings happening, and this image will be just perfect for those quick cards as it needs the minimum amount of colouring.
