Wings of Love Inspiration | Black & White Cards with Elena

Hello crafty friends! First, I’d like to thank you for joining me today. It’s Elena from elenasalo.com. This is my second post with projects I made using dies from the On the Wings of Love Collection, catch my first post here. For today’s cards I’ve chosen a die from Love Dream Create set. It reminds me of fairytale cityscape where elves and fairies live. And on my card I tried to show how this city would look like at night in moon light.

  • Draw the skyline in the middle of the “cityscape” with the white gel pen. Cover the label over the line with Wink of Stella shimmer brush and under the line cover it with the glossy accent and leave until it dries.

  •  Die-cut one more cityscape out of white cardstock and add double sided adhesive on the back not to lose tiny “windows" from the label. Cover them all with silver glitter glue, wit until it dries and adhere black and white cityscapes together

I created one more similar card, but placed the cityscape in different way and used the sentiment “Create” from Words set.
