Time for a new blog post.
Quick and simple and very colourful. I love how it turned out.
This a DL sized card blank in landscape orientation.
I have used two stamp sets from Stampin' Up, Butterfly Basics, (with matching framelits), and the gorgeous Gorgeous Grunge.
I stamped out the butterfly in a series of Distress Inks to create a rainbow. I used:
Festive Berries,
Spiced Marmalade,
Mustard Seed,
Mowed Lawn,
Salty Ocean,
Picked Raspberry,
Dusty Concord.
Next I die cut the butterflies with the matching framelit, (you could of course fussy cut this).
On the background, I used a combination of Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut stain to stamp out the sketchy lines from the Gorgeous Grunge set. I added the splotches from the same set using Black Soot.
Using a bone folder, I curled the wings of the butterflies and then stuck them down at the body so the wings remained free. I added PVA glue pearls from Cosmic Shimmer - three pearls seemed to work well.
I thought he background needed a bit more bling so I added added some Silver Lustre PVA glue pearls here too.
Finally, I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the greeting also from the Butterfly Basics stamp set.
Very simple - but I really liked how it looked.
That's all for now,
Happy Crafting!
