Hi
Stampers!!
I
had a chance to play in my craft room last night and decided to create a card
using the FabFri70 Sketch Challenge along with the Friday Mashup FM221 "Fields of Flowers" Challenge and the Seize the Birthday 08/13 Anything that Flies Challenge.
I
decided to pull out a few retired sets that needed some “love” :-)
Again,
if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the
above challenge sites to check out the inspiration from their Design Teams as
well as their wonderful galleries!
To create
this card:
Stamp the
floral, stem and butterfly images from the retired set, God’s Beauty using
Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.
Use an
AquaPainter™ with Classic Ink from Delightful Dijon, Old Olive and Rich
Razzleberry to color the images.
Carefully
cut out (“fussy-cut”) each image, use a foam brush to apply ModPodge® to the
butterfly image (this helps to stabilize the image and give it a bit of
strength) and set aside to dry.
Use the
Big Shot™ to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Brick Wall
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and a piece of Old Olive with the
Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Trim the
Brick Wall embossed panel and mount onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock.
Trim the
Woodgrain embossed panel and mount onto the Rich Razzleberry card base.
Add the
Brick Wall layered panel to the card front.
Stamp the
sentiment from Express Yourself using Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink onto a scrap
piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim
and mount onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock.
Add the
sentiment to the Brick Wall embossed panel and mount the stems, flowers and
butterfly.
Use the
White Gel Pen to highlight the center of the flowers and when dry, apply Crystal
Effects™ to the centers.
Add a few
Pearls to the corner to finish off the card.

Ink: Stāz-On® Jet Black, Delightful Dijon, Old Olive, Rich
Razzleberry; White Gel Pen

White, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry

ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! I am so happy to see that it was one of the Fab Four. I love the rich coloring and details on the butterflies and the sense of movement from the placement of them. So glad that you could join us at Fab Friday!
