The Crafty Thinker: Stephanie Fischer - Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator: #butterfly

Monday, 5 February 2018

The butterfly started out life as an in-class demonstration of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and then found its natural habitat on this card!

The black & white background provides the perfect showcase for the colourful butterfly. A multipurpose card!

The Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is paired with the use of the coordinating Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I added a small strip of Daffodil Delight paper from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper pack to which I adhered a tiny strip of the black and white paper that I'd trimmed off - waste not, want not!

Than you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Beautiful Day to Paint a Butterfly with Embossing Paste

Yesterday I showed you a card that I had painted with white embossing paste and gilded with gold embossing powder. This card uses a very similar technique.

Shimmery White Embossing paste, coloured with a drop of Sweet Sugarplum ink

I started with a little bit of the sparkly Shimmering White Embossing Paste in a small glass container and mixed in just one drop of Sweet Sugarplum ink from a reinker.

Then, using a small brush, I plopped a bit of the paste on the wings, working one segment at a time, and spread it out - keeping an eye on the direction of the brush strokes. In the darker areas, I didn't add any paste to my brush so it's mainly the glitter from the paste that's sticking to the cardstock and shimmering.

I didn't want to waste the paste that I had left over so I positioned one of the Pattern Party masks and "painted" the paste through it. I really wish I hadn't because I think I made the card look too busy - but I'll know for next time!

The word "lovely" was cut using one of the Lovely Words Thinlits with Gold Foil Sheet. I simply trimmed the word from the die cut.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!
