Hi
Friends!
I am still making an effort to create cards using some of my older stamp sets.
This
Clean and Simple card combines three retired Stampin’ Up! sets- Natural Beauty, God’s Beauty and Botanicals.
This
card was quick and easy to create- I heat embossed the butterfly image with clear
embossing powder onto a white cardstock panel and once cooled, masked the image
before stamping the text image and sentiment using water-based markers. A water brush was used to blend a bit of the
color and I used the remaining ink off the silicone mat to create a bit of
splatter.
The
text image was used on the base and the main image panel was mounted with dimensional
foam.
I
finished off the card using a clear glitter pen and white gel pen.
I
am linking this card to several online challenges- the CAS Colours and Sketches#335 Color Challenge, the Stampin’ Up! Only SUOC230 “Clean and Simple”Challenge and the CAS Watercolour August "Colourful Butterflies" Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to stop by the above challenge sites, I encourage you
to do so- fabulous galleries and inspiration from all!
