I had a chance to play around in my craft room this evening and
decided to create another quick Mixed Media card for the 200th Challenge at the Friday Mash Up! using the FM1 "Butterflies" with the FM5 "Nature with Embossing" Challenges (plus- I was able to Mash It Up! for both challenges as well- woohoo! :-)) along with the Splitcoaststampers "Free For All" F4A254 "True Free for All" Challenge (here are the challenge details and the gallery is here)
If you
have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time visit both challenge sites to see the terrific Design Team samples as well as the wonderful
inspiration from the galleries!
Apply the Sweet Sadie Washi Tape strips to a piece of
Whisper White cardstock and use the Big Shot™ to emboss with the Honeycomb
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry
cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and
mount onto the Basic Black card base.
Using My Digital Studio (MDS), position the Swallowtail
image (reduce in size) as well as the greeting from Wetlands and print out onto
Whisper White cardstock.
Color the butterfly using Stampin’ Write Markers- Daffodil
Delight, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry.
Use a Faber-Castell® Black Pitt Pen Marker to darken the
black areas of the butterfly, carefully “fussy-cut” the image and apply Mod
Podge® with a foam brush.
Use a Faber-Castell® White Pitt Pen marker to add the white
highlights to the wings.
Trim the sentiment and create the banner using the Hexagon
Punch.
Mount the sentiment onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry
cardstock, punch the banner points with
the Hexagon Punch, mount again onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock and punch
the banner points once more.
Stamp the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using
Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink over the embossed background panel and mount the
sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
To finish the card, use Stampin’ Dimensionals® under the
wing tips of the butterfly (to give the wings dimension) and Tombow® Mono-Adhesive
under the body to securely fasten to the card front.
