Butterfly One Layer card

~ Sathya ~ 8 Comments
Hi Friends,

Back here after a week with a CAS card to share.

One of the most favorite quote stamp and Butterfly from my Favorite stamp company, Inspired by Stamping. 

Just stamped the sentiment and the butterfly in memento black ink on a white A2 sized card base directly for a dramatic look. And this makes as One layer card too. Bit of shading on the butterfly is all I have done to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!

Hi friends,

This is Sathya from Paperie Expressions. Am excited to share my Guest Design project for the month of June at IBS. If you have missed my earlier post using two Fabulous floral stamps, you can check here . 

For today, i have come up with a mixed media project, using Gorgeous Butterflies Stampset.

Let’s get started!

  • Took 5″x7″ canvas and gessoed it with Clear Gesso.
  • Added Wendy Veichchi Embossing paste (Translucent) on the diagonal corners of the canvas and with that added cheesecloth.
  • Few strings are randomly to create further textures.
  • The canvas is misted with Lindy’s gang sprays.
  • The butterflies are stamped using Black Archival ink and colored using Gelatos. Highlights are added using Fabercastell Polychromos pencils.
                 

  • Then colored butterflies are fussy cut, Ranger’s UTEE clear Heat embossed.
  • The canvas is randomly stamped using script stamp from Forever friends stampset and black archival ink.
  • Same stamp is stamped onto a chipboard and added as a focal interest.
  • To that added a vellum strip of sentiment from the Butterflies stampset.
  • Few Prima mini art stones and some gold glitter dots are added randomly for interest.
  • Finally butterflies are added using Hot glue gun.

Hope you liked today’s project.

The focal cluster is mounted on a resin frame with few diecut flourishes, diecut leaves and pretty mix of florals. 
Big bold red resin floral heart added as a pretty addition.
Crocheted lace with a floral cabochon and a white embossed vellum butterfly  are added with a word embellies.
A small wooden tag is distressed and the sentiment is added from Inspired by stamping.

Pink Posies :)

~ Sathya ~ 32 Comments

Very happy to share that, today my card is being featured at Inspired By Stamping blog. Would like to thank Joanna and IBS team for this opportunity. This card and the co-ordinating box is made by IBS products  such as Spring liliac, Vintage floral paperpads, Sweet Valentine and Butterfly wings Stamp sets

Now onto card 🙂

Used this pic for inspiration.

The pps from Spring floral and Vintage floral are taken in light mint and baby pink color and matted. Used Picket fence distress stains randomly on pps to tone down their colors. This card front is matted with 6×6 white base cs.

Tore the pp at top left corner and curled up the edges, such that inner pp later is visible. And inbetween that space, tucked a baby pink tulle. Baby pink roses are made using Joy craft die and leaves are made from CLD rose leaf die and muted the color of it by applying picket fence DS on it.

Fillers flowers, mini rose buds are added to create the spray and teeny tiny bow added. Butterflies are heat embossed on vellum and colored with spun sugar Distress ink. Sentiment is stamped on a white vellum and heart pearls are added. Few white pearls as accents.

Box 🙂

Box and Card:)

This box is so very apt for holding 3dimensional projects such as 6×6 cards. Made a box from 300 gsm kraft cs and used velcro for its closures. On the sides, used CLD tiffany border on white cs. And on top of it, followed the same color scheme as card. Used digital freebies for pps and matted on each other using foam adhesive. Mulberry flowers with candi polka dot centres, a mft florish, grosgrain ribbon and few pearls are added. Sentiment is added on a Venetian label frame and added at centre.

I absoultely enjoyed doing this monochromatic shabby chic project. Hope you like it too!
