A new background stamp and a long awaited and oh so useful butterfly die set. I went with a CAS shaker to display the beauty of the Uniko butterfly.
I stamped and foiled the small butterfly from the stamp set and then used the new die to cut it out - no more fussy cutting needed!
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, English country Garden Butterflies, Simply Said Blocks
Inks: Versamark clear + Ranger sticky embossing powder & Deco rainbow foil; Versafine Clair, nocturne
Dies: Uniko, English Country Garden Butterflies; MFT Die-namics, Poloroid Shaker Frame
Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh, Wisteria Blossom mix
Of course I couldn't leave out the even more beautiful large butterfly and rainbow foiled that too before die cutting it and adhering over a window. Not a shaker this time but can you spot the gorgeous background foliage stamp?
The sentiment is also from the butterfly stamp set and is a very wistful quote in a pretty combo of fonts.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, English Country Garden Butterflies, Large Background Sketched Foliage
Inks: Versamark clear + Ranger sticky embossing powder & Deco rainbow foil; Versafine Clair, nocturne
Dies: Uniko, English country Garden Butterflie; MFT Die-namics, Inside/Out Stitched Circles
And finally time to give that awesome background stamp a chance to be the star. I used a kaleidacolor ink pad to get a varied coloured effect and then used the same ink pad with a brush to colour the small butterfly.
The large greeting is from All Occasion Sentiments #3 and I finished the whole card off by adding a trio of matching coloured sequins around it.

ReplyDeleteFab cards Jane, the foiling gives a subtle hint of colour and texture. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW ! Beautiful trio, Jane ! I'm so happy that Bev decided to design the dies for the butterflies. I love the foiling on their wings, they look even more delicate. Your last card is so eye-catching and I'm totally swooning over these blue/green shades ! x
