Awesomely Artistic, Watercolour Lifted, Bold Butterfly

This is my entry for this week's Global Design Project, which is a sketch challenge. This is a very restrained card for me!

SU, Watercolour Lifting, Awesomely Artistic, Bold Butterflies, #GDP026

So restrained!

The top layer of Elegant Eggplant cardstock is popped up on dimensionals and is stamped with Versamark. The butterfly was cut out using a Bold Butterflies Framelit to reveal the pink panel below.

To create the "pink panel", I did a watercolour wash on Whisper White cardstock using Rose Red and Wisteria Wonder inks. I then clear heat embossed the floral stamp from Awesomely Artistic before washing away some of the ink. I then added a very light Rose Red wash over the top to highlight the Wisteria Wonder portion of the stamping.

I created the tag by clear heat embossing the greeting onto Whisper White cardstock before stamping over it with the hessian pattern from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set in Elegant Eggplant. I sponged on some Wisteria Wonder ink and edged the piece with Elegant Eggplant. I cut a slightly wider strip of Wisteria Wonder cardstock and used one of the Lots of Labels framelits to shape the ends (one end at a time).

The finishing touch was to place some pink dots from the It's My Party Enamel Dots pack onto Candy Dot Brad Bases.

A Grateful Bunch of What I Love

#SU, Another Thank You, Heat embossing on vellum, Heat Embossing

The Wink of Stella doesn't show up well in the photo but in reality it adds a very pretty element to the card

This bright and cheery card features the Grateful Bunch bundle and also one of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets called What I Love.

The What I Love set is FREE until 31st March with any purchase of $90 and is a three part stamp. However, on this card I chose to only use one of the images (the other two add shading and depth).

I stamped the image three times onto a piece of vellum with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I added the greeting from Another Thank You in a similar way.

I put adhesive around the edges of the vellum and stuck it to the front of my Calypso Coral card. Then I hid the adhesive (that shows through the vellum) with some Calypso Coral ribbon from my stash (now retired sadly).

I stamped the images from Grateful Bunch in Versamark on Calypso Coral cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I punched out the smaller flowers with the matching Blossom Bunch Punch and hand cut the larger flower. I also white heat embossed a flower from the What I Love set and cut it out.

I assembled and adhered all the flowers to the front of the card and then added Gold Wink of Stella to the centre of one flower and Rhinestone Jewels to the others. All the flowers received a coating of Clear Wink of Stella - even the vellum ones.

Thanks for visiting!

The Butterfly of Gratitude

Sitting on the windowsill with the light behind it's vellum wings,
the butterfly looks ready to fly off into the garden!

As promised, here's another card that I made whilst challenging myself to be creative with the Striped Scallop thinlet. This time I spritzed a mixture of reinker and water over the mask that I'd made.

I wanted to make a more masculine thank you card and was pleased with the way it turned out. Even though I added a butterfly, I think it's a manly butterfly!
