Good Morning everyone, i hope you had a good weekend.
For Christmas one of my brothers and sister in law gave me a beautiful set of stamps by Aall&create with these giant butterflies. So for my SIL's birthday this month i decided to use the main butterfly.
8x8" card. The butterfly was stamped onto white card, watercoloured with inktense pencils and cut out. I cut a piece of white card to fit the base and used a cloud embossing folder with the letterpress technique of adding blue ink to one side and running through my machine, this gave me blue sky and white clouds.
I matted that onto black card and then the base. I die cut a white and black oval frames and added with foam tape. I then added the butterfly with glue gel. I stamped the sentiment onto die cut cloud to finish.
Version 2 is the butterfly stamped onto white vellum and coloured with alcohol markers and white pen for the berries. I coloured it from the back. Glitter glue to the flower centres to finish.
Version 3 is stamped on white vellum but i coloured it with acrylic paints again on the back, which is easier as don't have to worry too much about staying in the lines which im not very good at. I used XL oval dies to make my oval cardblank and frame, i embossed the middle with a floral burst embossing folder.
and version 4. This time stamped onto acetate and coloured with alcohol inks on the back which gives a fab stained glass effect. I added white paint to the berries first and then the alcohol inks, this kept the berries white.
