Embossed Butterfly Basics

 

Another few Butterfly Basics cards. First ones teamed with the Brick Wall embossing folder for the background.

First one purely clean and simple

Second one  - wall slightly grunged with the aid of a sponge and Sahara Sand ink... 

Butterflies watercoloured again using the Aquapainter, Pool Party and Mint Macaron ink. With the body in Tip Top Taupe ink on the more grunged...

And another few ideas... next one using the Fluttering embossing folder

And the last one with a couple of layered die cut butterflies using the Butterflies and the Bold Butterfly dies, the new stripy Mint Macaron ribbon and the new Classic Label punch for the Thoughtful Banners greeting 

You will notice that I have a shortened Classic Label here.... Go here for 9 ideas on using the Classic Label Punch...

Again these cards may seem recognisable. They are a remake of the Watercolor Wings cards I made here... and here... and a more fancy Tunnel Card one made here... 

Balloon Celebrations - Embossed Dandelion

Just a very simple card to show you an embossed dandelion this time... onto Watercolor paper with Lost Lagoon Aqua Painter watercolouring over the top...

Though I have to admit that I rejected this option for classes... too hard & ends up too random... as you can't see where you are stamping the Versamark seed heads... so crafter beware! Shame...as it does look fab...

Whisper White seedheads and Lost Lagoon seed head centre/dotty circles on the mat to finish...

And here are the 2 together...

The Front Door Centre Step Easel Card

This was my favourite card from my Happy Home/Hearth & Home classes last week... and one which will be made again... probably very soon... as I have another idea ...

As you will see from this card shared earlier I had opened up the Circle of Spring stamp set - and then this card idea came to me in a flash... and it had to be done...with only seconds to spare before my class arrived!

So glad I did! Love it!

And before I get asked about how it fits in an envelope again.... this one has a tweak from my original Centre Step Easel Card and so it now fits in a 6" square envelope...

The tutorial for making the door is here.... 

And the card tutorial is here... 

Bloomin Butterfly...

So amongst all the beautiful & glittery hearts in this week's class...

There was one simple little card....

That most fired everyone's heart & imaginations...

And this is it...

Die cut butterfly on the front panel - along with a simple greeting... black heart stuck onto the card front... butterfly aperture front panel 3D foam adhered on top... and finished off with a few rhinestones...

Sparkly Wonderland Antlers

Another idea for my favourite trio stamping of Antlers...

Trio of antlers stamped in black without re-inking in between...

Add a panel of Winter Wonderland antler paper...

And a strip & a bow of Silver ribbon...

And then finish off your stamped antlers with glue and a sprinking of glitter... can't remember if I used Dazzling Details - or Fine Tip glue plus Dazzling Diamonds fine glitter...! Either works...

Sparkles, glistens & causes a WOW in the flesh...but simple to make... got to love that!
