Hi Friends!
Today I am sharing a quick
Mixed Media card designed using the retired Stampin’ Up! Swallowtail background
stamp along with a sentiment from the Mercy stamp set (Stamp Simply).
I wanted to participate
with a few online challenges and was inspired by the
FUSION “Summer” Challenge
(the lemon yellow along with the soft green) and am also linking to the Creative Knockouts #361 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (middle row down- Embossing (heat) Image
and Sentiment) and the Simon Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If you have not had a
chance to check out the above challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous
inspiration from all!
To create this card:
This was another
butterfly I had printed out using the My Digital Studio™ program onto white
cardstock (I found in my stash when organizing).
Color the butterfly
with water-based markers- see the colors used below and once satisfied, fussy
cut the image. Use a foam brush to lightly apply a layer of Mod Podge™ to the
entire butterfly and set aside to dry.
De-static the lower
corner with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment with Versafine™Onyx Black
ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Add the butterfly to
the card front to finish off the card.
