Hello, it’s Emma-Jo here! Today, I’ll be showing you how to create a beautiful birthday card featuring a pair of swans gliding gracefully on still water, set against the glow of a setting sun.
The background is a blended mix of vibrant Elements Inks: Sundance, Confetti, and Russet Orange, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I’ve used the stunning Swans, Thimbleweed, and Snow Shrub stamps to set the scene, and the Crystal Star Signs word stamp to add a touch of elegance and create the effect of shadows on the water beneath the swans.
I’ve added extra colour using Mondeluz Watercolour Pencils, with the finishing touches provided by Posca Pens and Liquid Pearls.
This card would make the perfect complement to a gift of swan earrings or a swan brooch – just like the ones we made in a previous tutorial!
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and feel inspired to join me in making your own swan birthday card.
