'Flight of the Butterflies.'

Hello Everyone,

Hope you've had a good start to your week and you managed to tune in to Create & Craft yesterday, to see Mandy doing her fabulous demonstrations and the design team's fabulous samples.   I'm busy working on new samples for Imagination Craft's next shows, a quick turnaround lol so I'd better get my skates on lol!  not much time between shows.   Just love it when my 'happy post' arrives....can't wait to get started!

Today I'd like to share another of my sample cards made for yesterday's shows, using the Tumbling Blossoms collection.   This one used the fabulous Sparkle & Twinkle, one of my favourite products.

 

Matt a 7"x7" piece of wine coloured pearl card onto an 8"x8" ivory base card.take an oblong piece of white card and colour using the Cadence matt acrylic paints - Carmine, Lavender blue, Green land and Ecru and blend the colours on the card.

 

Next, stamp the right-hand half of the church window (from the Secret Garden stamp set) onto the coloured card using a  'Stonewash' Adirondak ink pad.

 
        

                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                    

Spray the back of the butterflies panel stencil with a little of  the Cadence stencil spray and lay onto the coloured, stamped panel card.

                                                                                                    

Using a stencil brush, stipple some of the Lavender blue paint through the butterfly design, remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

Using the paint left on the brush, rub this around the edges of the oblong card.   Take a piece of white card six and three quarter inches square and lay the Deco branch panel stencil onto the right-hand side of the white card and secure with the blue stencil tape.   Spread the Diamond Blue Sparkle & Twinkle over the stencil, using a metal spatula.   Remove the tape and stencil and leave the image to dry.

 

Repeat this on the left-hand side also, but remember to 'flip' the stencil over if you want them to match.    Matt  and layer this onto a slightly larger square of wine red coloured pearl card.

                                   Next matt and layer this onto the 8"x8" ivory base card.

   

                                                                                                                                                                       Using some white card to make some more butterflies to overlay the original stamped image, lay the stencil on the card  and spread the Diamond blue Sparkle & Twinkle through the 2 large butterflies and one tiny butterfly, the Gold through 2 smaller and one tiny butterflies and the Diamond through the 4 smaller ones - total.....10 butterflies.

                                                                                                                                                                     Cut out the butterflies and glue to the original images on the oblong piece of card.   Glue this panel onto a slightly larger piece of wine coloured pearl card.

                                                                                                                                                    

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                       Glue this oblong panel to the centre of the ivory base card. 

                                                                                                                                                                                          Glue a wine/gold edged ribbon bow to the top left corner and the card is finished. 

 

That's all from me for the moment but I will be back again with another sample from the Tumbling Blossoms stencil collection.    Until then be safe, well and happy.   See you all again soon.
