This week's guest
post has been provided by Mary Woolley who has designed a beautiful card
featuring two of our A4 butterfly themed stamp sets.
I am delighted to share a card I have made using
the Butterfly Daisy Collage and Butterfly Poppy Collage stamp sheets.
I started by colouring a piece of white card using chalks. I then
stamped 3 butterflies in black ink and coloured with pencils. In the
background I stamped a smaller butterfly in a co-ordinating coloured ink and
using clear embossing ink and clear embossing powder I stamped sections of the
harlequin and text stamp. I finally added 2 mats of co-ordinating stock
together with 2 black mats and the card is finished.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Mary. The chalks make a perfect background for the butterflies. Fab stamping especially with the embossing. Love how you have used the colored layers on your card for the frame. Magical!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely background! An elegant card!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful card, the butterflies really pop in contrast to the delicate colours on the background... :) x
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, and the background colours using the chalks produces a lovely soft effect which contrasts well with the nice embossed shiny stamping. The butterflies have been beautifully coloured, and the pink and cream layers sandwiched between black give a nice backing to this gorgeous topper. x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and background. The butterflies are so pretty ! Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteYour use of black with the brilliant pink of the butterflies is beautiful & I particularly like your pale green undertones which really seem to make the whole piece glow - a lovely touch to have that green included in the matting layers adding far more to the whole than I'd have imagined.
