Butterfly Wishes Wash

Butterfly Wishes, a simple heat embossing technique and the Parisian Flourish embossing folder 

Sadly, my memory being what it is, I can't remember the name of this technique!  Perhaps someone will remind me.

For the butterfly strip, I sponged a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Gorgeous Grape ink.  Then I gave it a good going over with my Embossing Buddy before clear heat embossing the butterflies.

Then I spritzed with water and used some paper towel to lift off some of the ink, leaving the butterflies darker.

Thank you for visiting.

Butterfly Wishes & Butterfly Beauty Dies

The gorgeous Butterfly Wishes stamp set

Having stamped the branch onto Sahara Sand card with Calypso Coral ink, I added colour with Stampin' Write Markers in Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Call Me Clover and Shaded Spruce and blended a tiny bit with an Aqua Painter.

The butterfly and greeting are stamped with Early Espresso ink.

Using Calypso Coral card, I cut a single butterfly from the grouping in the Butterfly Beauty Dies.  I then cut another from an offcut of Petal Pink card and did a little paper piecing.  I coloured the antennae and body with my Early Espresso marker and added a Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel.

Simple but effective.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek - Butterfly Wishes

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

Our theme this month is to provide sneak peeks from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue, which takes effect from 3rd June.  

I've chosen to use the Butterfly Wishes stamp set Stitched Nested Labels and Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

The beautiful new Perennial Essence paper and Butterfly Wishes stamp set

I inked up the entire stamp with Blushing Bride ink and then added Mint Macaron and Soft Suede to the branches and leaves before stamping onto Whisper White cardstock.

TIP:  Breath heavily onto the inked stamp before stamping down onto the card.  The moisture in your "huff" will be sufficient to ensure that the ink is activated.

Give more depth to the butterfly by adding some lighter wings with Stampin' Dimensionals

I stamped the butterfly onto a scrap of Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler and then, without re-inking, stamped again for a lighter shade.

I then cut out the entire darker butterfly and just the wings of the lighter one which I adhered to the darker butterfly using glue and bits of Stampin' Dimensionals before gluing the finished butterfly to the cardfront.

If you live in Australia and don't currently have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, contact me for your copy of the new catalogue.
