I
am sharing a One Layer Mixed Media card that I created this evening using a retired
Stampin’ Up! butterfly image from the Wonderful Wings stamp set along with a
sentiment from the brand new Stampin’ Up! Ribbon of Courage stamp set.
I
decided to participate in the CAS-ual Fridays #177 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge
(Butterflies, One Layer, Stripes), the FUSION “Sand, Beach” Challenge (I was
inspired by the colors in the sign), the Alphabet Challenge “I for Insects”Challenge and the Tuesday Throwdown #351 "One Layer" Challenge.
If
you have not already had a chance to visit the above challenge sites, I hope
you will do so- they both have fabulous Design Teams as well as inspiration in
their galleries.
To create
this card:
1). Fold
a 4 ¼” x 11” piece of Crumb Cake cardstock in half and score for the card base.
2). De-static
the front of the card with an Embossing Buddy®, ink the Wonderful Wings image
using archival black ink, stamp onto the card front, apply Stampin’ Emboss®
Clear Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
3). Once
the embossing has cooled, watercolor the image with Stampin’ Up! Watercolor
Pencils- Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Pacific Point blending with a water
brush. Add additional color to the wings
with the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker (blending the color with the water
brush) and when dry, add white highlights with an Extra Fine White Sharpie®
Paint Pen. Add shadows with the Tip Top
Taupe Stampin’ Write Marker (also blending with the water brush).
4). Using
Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink, a sponge dauber and the Memory Box™
Texture Line Up Stencil, add stripes to the background. Add a bit more color to the stripes with
Broken China Distress Oxide Ink and use a water spritzer to add water
droplets. Dry carefully with a Heat Tool
and apply Nuvo™ Fresh Copper Embellishment Mousse with your finger to a few of
the stripes.
5). Use a
Spectrum Noir™ Clear Glitter Pen to add shimmer to the wings of the butterfly
and apply Nuvo™ Grey Mist Crystal Jewel Drops to the background finish off the
card.
