Addicted to Stamps and More has a wonderful new challenge for you, starting right now. This week we are back with a fabulous photo inspiration challenge. Here it is...
Our sponsor this week is the fantastic Happy Little Stampers and
the prize for one lucky winner is a $15 gift certificate.
As Mother's Day has already passed in the UK I chose to take my inspiration from the multiple words, the colours, the white space around the edge and the butterfly.
For this card I used a really old wooden stamp from my stash that I bought second hand on eBay years ago and have never used. I stamped the words image in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white powder. I then blended over the embossing with two shades of Distress Ink before die cutting with a stitched rectangle die. The die cut panel was then mounted onto my card base using 3D foam and then I simply added a die cut butterfly and some smooth gems to finish.
Materials used:
- Stamps: Elzybells - It's a Girl Thing
- Ink: VersaMark; Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
- Die: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Rectangles; Clearly Besotted - Butterfly Duo Die Collection
- Accents: Papermania - Glazed Gems (Iridescent)

This is really a lovely piece! I thought it was a fabulous idea to use the block of sentiments as part of your focal point and really like how you did an ombre effect on it and made the words white. The butterfly is so elegant and the bits of bling are perfect! Great structure and such pretty details. Thank you for sharing your talent with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous and elegant creation! Thanks for joining us at Stamping sensations this month and good luck!
