Hi
Friends!
Today
I am sharing a fun simple Mixed Media card designed with retired stamps from my
massive stash :-) The butterfly image is
from the retired Stampin’ Up! Ageless Adornment (hostess set) and the sentiment
is from the recently retired Verve Stamps, Scripture Medley 3.
I had this butterfly image already stamped, colored , fussy-cut and layered in my stash and in my recent (and continuing) organization project, I decided to pull out my "stashed" images and create a few cards:-).
I
am linking this card to the Try It On Tuesday “Things with Wings” Challenge
along with the CAS on Friday #136 “Splash Watercolor” Challenge and the WordArt Wednesday #342-#343 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet, I
encourage you to do so- wonderful ideas and projects by all!
To
create this card:
1). De-static a scrap
piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the butterfly
image with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear
embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Once the embossing as cooled, watercolor using ink from water-based markers. Fussy-cut the image, mount onto black
cardstock and cut close to the edge.
2). Die cut a piece
of white cardstock with a stitched rectangle die. Scribble a bit of green water-based marker onto
a silicone craft mat, lightly spritz with water and press the die cut panel
into the ink. Lift up and repeat until
you are satisfied with the background.

4). Mount the
fussy-cut butterfly image with dimensional foam. Add white highlights to the butterfly’s wings
using an extra fine white paint pen and use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer
to the wings.
5). Finish off the card
with a few jewel drops.
