Creating Cards with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps New Release: Little Country Church

Hello, My Crafty and Creative Friends!

Today I've got 2 cards to share with you...both created with the New Release LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH stamp, as my Weekly Design Team Projects for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps!

I've created 2 card versions with this beautiful stamp......one that's great for those of you who love to color...
And a second version for those of you who shy away from coloring! 

This is the version that I colored with Copics and ink...

For the first card...I chose to color the image with an assortment of Copic markers....and I created the sky by lifting ink from ink pads with a brush.
I gave attention to adding blended color to all of the wonderful details of this image....ie the stone wall...roof tiles...greenery...stained glass windows and shrubbery...

After the image was colored, I double matted it with deep turquoise blue card stock and bronze card stock. 

The finished card turned out as I had hoped....with soft colors USD to color the image...a nice blended sky with a sun glow...and some shimmery bronze matting

The second card is the "less" colored card...
A great way for those of you who shy away from coloring...to create a card that gives the appearance of full-on coloring...

I stamped the image on cream colored card stock...
and chose 2 basic colors for this image...
Green...and Pink...
Using a few shades of each to add color to this image.
I applied the color to keep details on this image...as you can see

The coloring took only a few minutes...
*CONFESSION: It actually took me longer to choose the print background paper for this card...

I love how this card came together...and I love that it allows those of you who love detailed images...but aren't huge fans of coloring...to recognize that every detailed image doesn't have to be a labor-intensive  coloring project.
YOU can do this!
It's a cinch...

I really enjoyed creating both of today's cards with this charming and beautifully detailed LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH stamp, and I''m happy to share 2 similar...but different cards with you.
