Lightbulbs

Good Morning everyone

I made these cards before Christmas using a lovely stamp set from aall&create i bought in the black friday sale. 

Slimline black card base.  I first stamped the lightbulb image onto white card and watercoloured with distress inks, i stamped a second image and cut out the lightbulb, larger flowers and butterfly and decoupaged them onto the base image with glue gel.  I then added glossy accents to the bulb.  I matted this panel onto black.

I cut white card slightly smaller than my base card and stamped the floral part of the stamp onto the top and bottom corners with grey ink, using some small sentiment stamps i stamped either side of the floral corners again with grey ink.  I added splatters using the same inks i used to colour the image and then mounted the topper panel with foam tape to finish. 

Version 2.  This used a soft cream pearl cardstock for both my base card and the topper panel.  I made the topper panel the same was as card one but this time for the base card i used lavinia butterfly stamps watercoloured with distress inks and a little leaf stamped with green distress ink.  The pearl of the cardstock still shimmers through nicely.

and version 3   This time i stamped directly onto my cream pearl base card, I still decoupaged the bulb, flowers, butterfly and a couple of the larger leaves.  I added soft stencilling to the outside using oxide inks salvaged patina & cracked pistachio.  Stamped the sentiment from the set to finish.  It reads 'You are like a wildflower, beautiful, fierce & free'
