Butterflies by Doreen

Butterflies

Today I would like to share this card with you.

Using the Butterfly Mind stamp set I first took a piece of card larger than I intended using for the finished topper. Stamp the open film strip from the set down one side of the card using Versafine Clair Nocturne Inkpad using clear embossing powder heat emboss the strip.

I then used a Distress Inkpad Tea Dye applying with a blending brush to colour the strip. Trim this away from the rest of the card and cut the strip in half,  leave to one side. then take the  piece of remaining card and use an anti static bag to cover the area, Take the  Butterfly film strip, the Inkpad and have your clear Embossing Powder ready stamp and emboss the image.

Colour the filmstrip with the Distress Inkpad, use Watercolour Brush Pens to colour the Butterflies. Using the random spots stamp in black ink around the image.

With the outer edges of the film strip pieces facing inwards glue these to the main topper.

Stamp the sentiment at a slight angle then with a clean blending brush not worrying too much about whether or not the ink on the butterflies is properly dry brush around in a circular motion, this will probably carry any damp ink around the image adding a little movement. I finally added some gems from my stash to the thorax of each of the butterflies.

  

Thank you for looking in Today
