Another Butterfly Card

Here is another card I made recently using the same stamp plate as in my previous post .



For this card I stamped the moth butterfly randomly onto gloss card using Versamark ink and then clear embossed the images. I then used a Speedball brayer and an Adirondack multi coloured inkpad (sadly discontinued) to brayer over the piece of card and of course, the embossed butterflies resisted the ink. I then took an acetate jacket and stamped and embossed the scroll corner again from the same stamp plate, using Moonglow EP. Finally I stamped and embossed the butterfly with the same Moonglow EP onto Artylicious DP from the Simple Elegance pack, cut it out and attached it to the acetate over the central butterfly on the card underneath. I left the wings free to create a bit more movement.


I hope everyone is gearing up to a nice relaxing weekend. I can't say I will be relaxing exactly as in about 15 minutes time my youngest granddaughter is arriving to stay with me and her Grandad for the weekend while Mum and Dad go to a wedding. She's 22 months old now so into everything. I think I might be pretty shattered (but pleasantly so) by Sunday, Lol!

Thanks for looking everyone.

I've Got Something to Post - Yay!!!!

Seriously, I've actually made one or two things recently but I'll spread them out a bit otherwise I'll hit another bare patch and have no artwork to post again, Lol!

This is a card I made recently by embossing with clear EP and then brayering over the top with Big and Juicy ink. I then made an acetate 'jacket' on which I stamped with Versamark and embossed with Moonglow EP. Finally I stamped a butterfly onto DP using Versamark and the same Moonglow EP, cut it out and then positioned it on the acetate over a butterfly on the card beneath. I lifted the wings and only attached the body.

It's a bit short and sweet tonight (now who shouted yipee?) but I'm starting to feel as though I have a cold coming on. You know, sore throat, bit shivery and headachy, so I'm going to get a soothing drink and curl up with a few magazines. It's the one too many cuddles I had with a poorly little granddaughter last week that's done it I think!

Hope you're all starting to thaw out nicely now. I'll be back soon.

Thanks for visiting. I really appreciate you keep coming back.
