Butterflies are Fabulous

April Stamp Club Card

As time goes by, I find myself more and more drawn to butterflies.  I seem to have quite a few stamp sets with butterfly images.  I've even filled a picture frame of butterflies using the Beautiful Wings embosslit.  It looks something like THIS but with a dark brown frame.  And above it, I have a wrought iron butterfly.   So here is a card using a butterfly.  What is hard to see in the photo is the Crystal Effects covering the entire butterfly image.

Butterfly using Rock and Roll Technique with a Twist:

Stamp one half of the butter fly in So Saffron ink.  Stamp the other side of the butterfly in Certainly Celery ink.  Roll butterfly stamp around the edges of the stamp in Pool Party ink.  Stamp on card stock.   


Tip:  Apply Crystal Effects over the entire butterfly image.  Make sure you do this once the card has been completed and assembled.  Or you will have to wait many hours until the Crystal Effects dries before adhering it to the card.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Fabulous Florets, Word Play
Paper:  Whisper White, Pool Party
Ink:  Pool Party, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Basic Black
Accessories:  Dimensionals, Crystal Effects

Fabulous in Black

 I was inspired by THIS card on Splitcoaststampers.  I thought that these colours of embossing powder were very striking against the black card stock.  Had to try it too.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Fabulous  Florets, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Wild Wasabi

Ink:  VersaMark, Wild Wasabi

Accessories:  Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder, Dimensionals

Fabulous Floret

 June Stamp Club Card

Faux Metal Technique

Directions:

Round corners of various pieces of card stock.  Note that not all corners have been rounded.

Stamp the line-art flower in Tangerine Tango ink on the Whisper White card stock. 

Stamp the Wood Grain stamp on the Early Espresso card stock with Early Espresso ink.

Adhere stamped pieces to the Tangerine Tango card stock.

Use Early Espresso Bakers' Twine to tie a bow. 

To create the Tangerine Tango main image you will need your stamp, smallest piece of Whisper White card stock, VersaMark, Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder and a Heat Gun.

Follow THIS TUTORIAL on Splitcoaststampers to create the Faux Medallion Technique.  (If you use silver, gold or bronze embossing powder it will create the true Faux Metal look.)

Once "medallion" is complete, adhere to Whisper White and Early Espresso card stock squares.  Add dimensionals on the back and complete card.

TIP #1:  When embossing the "medallion", you can either add more embossing powder immediately after heating.  Or you can wait until medallion has cooled and then ink up again with more VersaMark.  Make sure the embossing powder has cooled otherwise the ink pad will get messed up.

TIP #2:  If you don't like how your stamped image turned out in the melted embossing powder, ink up with VersaMark, add more embossing powder and reheat until smooth again.

Dimensions:

Whisper White:  4-1/4 x 5x5 card base,  3-1/4 x 2-1/2,  1-7/8 x 1-7/8;  1-3/4 x 1-3/4

Early Espresso:  3-1/4 x 1-1/2,  2 x 2

Tangerine Tango:  3-3/8 x 2-5/8
