Your Special Day!

Welcome

Today's card features this beautiful butterfly and the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Flower Globe

So, here's what I did to create my card. 

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Flower Globe stencil over that.  I inked with these Distress Oxide colours:  Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner, Shaded Lilac and some Villainous Potion.
• Next, I cut the stenciled flower circle in half and die cut the background of the wings from each side of the circle.
• I die cut the outline of the butterfly with some black cardstock and then glued it over the piece I had cut from the circles to complete the look of the butterfly.
• I glued the 2 halves of the circles onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto a piece of black and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the butterfly over the circles, matching up the pattern.
• I added some bling all along the butterfly body and then stamped the sentiment with Versamark and white heat embossed it.  I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment underneath the butterfly.

Today, I am showing you the new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Orderly Waves

I didn't use them as suggested by their name as waves, but instead by overlapping the inking I was able to create a fun background for my collage.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by placing a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station.  I added the Orderly Waves stencil over that and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil, cleaned it off and then put it down again in the other direction and inked with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and rubbed the whole panel with my Anti-static powder.
• I placed the stenciled piece into my Misti and stamped the Butterfly Collage with some black Versafine Clair ink and clear heat embossed it.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of black then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Finally, I added 2 black gems inside the stamped images.

Meet today's card.

I am loving this new Drippy Butterfly stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  

This one comes with a stencil and a mask and I used both for my card.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock 3 3/4" x 5" for my card front.  I laid the Drippy Butterfly stencil over the paper, and inked it up with some  Broken China Distress Oxide inks.  
• I removed the stencil and placed the mask over the butterfly and lightly inked around the outside edges of my card with some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.
• Next, leaving the mask in place, I randomly stamped the Friends Script and the Texture around the outer edges with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink.
• I place the panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment with some black ink.
• I added some white splatters using my white Posca pen.
• Lastly, I glued it onto a heavy white card base and added 3 black gems under the sentiment.

Stencil Layering

Welcome

I love trying to use the things I have in my craft stash in a different way.  

For today's card, I layered 2 newly released stencils from A Colorful Life Designs together to give this beautiful Drippy Butterfly a brand new look.  The Summer Flowers stencil was just perfect layering to get the look I wanted.

So here' what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and positioned the Drippy Butterfly stencil over my cardstock on my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat.  I then placed the Summer Flowers stencil right on the top of the Butterfly.
• Using some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink, I inked up just the center of the flowers using my TE Blending Brushes.  I moved outwards and inked the flowers with some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks and then finally added some Cracked Pistachio DOX to the rest of the stencil. 
• I removed the flowers stencil and added just a bit more Cracked Pistachio ink to the open areas left behind on the butterfly.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I stamped the TE sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock with some Versamark ink and white heat embossed it.  
• I used the die that goes with that sentiment set to cut it out.
• I glued the butterfly onto a piece of navy cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
• I pop dotted the sentiment over the center of the butterfly.

Welcome

I'm back today with a card using this beautiful Layered Mixed Butterfly stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

A very simple card made using my Gel Plate.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock and then got out my Gel Plate.
• I pressed some Peacock Feathers and some Broken China Distress Oxide ink onto my plate and then used a brayer to smooth it all out.
• I placed the Layered Mixed Butterfly onto the plate and gently pressed it into the plate using the rounded end of a paintbrush, being sure the stencil made good contact with the plate.
• Then, I carefully removed the stencil, lifting off some of the ink and rubbed my piece of cardstock onto the plate to lift the print.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• When the print was dry, I placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.
• I glued the print onto a piece of checked cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
