Good morning sharing a card made using Artisan Design's Hearts Burst stencil and a sentiment from the Chrysanthemum stamp set, with a text stamp and stencil from my stash.

Butterfly card tutorial.

In this post I'm going to show you how I made this card.

To begin I glued a piece of patterened paper to the top left corner of a 7 x 7 inch squared piece of smooth stamping card. Then I added colour using a blending tool. The colours I used were worn lipstick and bundled sage distress oxide ink pads. 

Next I coloured a piece of lace using the worn lipstick ink. Then glued it, using a wet glue, to my background.

Next I coloured a piece of ticket style ephemera and glued it unde0rneath the lace.

When the glue had dried, I mounted this onto a piece of black card, then a piece of pink card and then onto an 8 x 8 inch square card blank. 

I then stamped one of the large butterflies from Artisan Design's Butterfly Supreme 2 stamp set using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. As this stamp has some quite large areas of rubber, I used my stamping platform, so that I could do it twice if necessary.

I then coloured it using the same distress inks that I used for the background. To do this I smooshed both inks on my glass mat. Then using a damp paint brush I applied the ink to the image. Vary the amount of water in the brush to alter the shade.

Next I fussy cut the image out and using my fingers I shaped it to make it look like it was flying. I stuck it to the card using glue gel. I stamoed the sentiment, which is from the same stamp set and added flat back pearls as embellishments.

Good morning sharing a card made using Artisan Design's Crysanthemum stamp set, with a background created using off cuts of card and the Acer Burst and Exploding Mums background stamps.

Lorrena

Good morning sharing a card made using Artisan Design's Lorrena Butterfly Dancer stamp set and the Lotus Wheel stencil.

I had already used the stencil for another project, so it was covered in seedless preserve distress oxide ink, which I spritzed lightly with water and pressed onto another piece of card. I used a blending brush to add squeezed lemonade distress oxide ink through the stencil. 

I then used the worker stamps from the Lorrena stamp set, with squeezed lemonade and seedless preserve distress oxide ink, to add detail to the background and to the white matt.

I then stamped Lorrena using Versafine Clair chianti ink. I used a waterbrush and seedless preserve distress oxide to colour the area between the body and wings.

Both the stamp set and stencil used plus many more are available from www.artisandesigngroupuk.com with free p&p throughout April.
