Rose and Lemon Butterfly

Hello

I have a quick card to share today with a butterfly on unsurprisingly….sorry!

I started with a print using a spellbinder die which I then cut using a label shape.

I added a few matts and flourish dies together with my butterfly…of course and the card is finished.

A quick and simple card but bright and jolly I think.

Thanks for visiting my little blog today.

Pink and Purple Butterflies

Hello

I have another card on the same theme as http://wp.me/p385yc-qg but this time in pink & purple.

I started with stamping the butterflies in purple ink and colourised the background with pink and purple pastels.

I used a Sue Wilson die to cut out a border but did not use the outside edge so the die stayed in the stamping. I used an XCut die for the letters which I arranged on a length of ribbon.

A little matting and layering and the addition of a purple butterfly … of course! and the card is finished.

I hope you like it.

Collaged Triple Stamping

Hello

I have a card to share today using a selection of stamps from my collection.  The focal butterfly stamp and corner stamp are both from Chocolate Baroque.

I love collage stamping, mainly because it reduces the need to select and choose, but unfortunately a lot of the time the stamping will be hidden in the background.

I therefore like this style of triple stamping card because the background remains visible.

I used a brown inkpad for the background stamping, gold embossing powder for the butterfly and gilding flakes for the corners.

I hope you like it.

Thanks for visiting.

Butterflies of Paradise

Hello

Right. Normal service is resumed following birthday celebrations and today I have a quick card to share which I am really sorry includes butterflies and purple.  Oh what the hec, no I’m not sorry I love them.

I started with my background and stamped 2 butterflies in black ink and masked.  I then stamped in purple ink a Bird of Paradise stamp, a flourish and a text stamp. I chalked over the whole background and coloured the butterflies in using coloured pencils.

I then layered my background onto a co-ordinated colour cardstock and stamped the text stamp and elements of the flourish in black ink.

The finishing touch, as always is to add a 3D butterfly with wire antennae (or in this case add 4)

I hope you like it.

See you again soon

Butterfly Mixed Media

Hello

Isn’t it lovely to have a little sun for the Easter holidays.

Today I have another butterfly card to share, using the lovely Chocolate Baroque stamps.

I started with a background painted in 3 shades of acrylic paint.

I stamped the main focal image in black embossing powder and used clear embossing powder for the images around the edge.

I lastly added some butterflies using gilding flakes.

Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you again soon.

Twinchies – 3 techniques in 3 colours and 1 stamp

Hello

I have some more Twinchies today, which is always a nice way to start a week.

I really had fun with these, all using the same Butterfly stamp in 3 colourways.

The first trio is simply stamped and coloured in using pencils.  Then using embossing folders I have inked in a corresponding colour to accent the embossing and then flattened again to bring the stamping back as the focal image.

The others are stamped using watercolours; one onto dry and one onto wet.  Great effects and fun to do. I then overstamped in black ink once dry.

I love these and I hope you do too.

See you again with something else.
