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.

Tile it With Flowers by Doreen

 Tile It With Flowers

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a simple quick make all it needs is some preparation before either going to bed or the day before making the actual card, this will give the paste time to dry properly.

To start this card I just used a background from my stash which I wiped over with an antistatic bag. I used  ' Have A Magical Day ' from the Say it Vertically stamp set of various useful sentiments. Stamped using a Versamark Inkpad and heat embossed with a Copper embossing powder.

The Mosaic Flower which I prepped the night before peeled away easily from the stamp but where I had been a bit too frugal with the paste left areas behind that hadn't fused together properly but I think it adds to the effect.

To make the image pop I used a Permanent Black Fine liner Pen.

To mount I used a silicone gel.

Thanks for looking in today

Double Delight by Doreen

 Double Delight

Today I would like to share with you this card, I do like long slim cards. 

This card uses the Floral Delight  stamp set which is a single floral image. If you like one half of the photo above.

The background was coloured first using Distress Inkpads and blending brushes.

I then stamped onto Masking Tissue but not stamping the sentiments.

I splashed the background with water and then blotted with a tissue, quickly check this is dry by a brief heat gun dry.

Take a Black Inkpad to stamp one side of the card ( I have used Momento Tuxedo Black) then apply your cut out mask to the image and re-ink your stamp and line up as well as is possible with the image on the card slightly overlapping the stems this will not matter if it doesn't line up as well as you would like if you use an embellishment or stamped butterfly, maybe a a bow if you wish.

I used coloured pencils to colour the images.

With some of the card cut from the initial coloured card stamp your sentiments and cut them out, using a Black chisel ended permanent marker edge the card and sentiments. Apply to card separately on foam tape.

Thanks for looking in today
