You give me butterflies!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Welcome back, today I'm sharing a very quick and simple tutorial for a valentines themed card. If you have Instagram you can head over here and find a quick video. This is the first time I've done a video tutorial and hope to be able to bring you more of these soon!


If Instagram isn't your thing or you prefer to see step by step photos you can continue reading here and I'll break everything down as usual with product links at the end. 

Taking a card panel cut from a stitched rectangle I lined with low tac tape a section off at the top which will form the main focal point of this card.

Inking a background with Distress Ink Candied Apple and Abandoned Coral , spritz with water and dab with kitchen towel. Distress ink works well reacted with water, dab some on the surface and react with a small amount of water, using a small paint brush pick up small pieces and tab gently over your inked area a few cm away from your project to create a splatter affect (Click any image to view larger)



You can use a heat gun to set the wet ink or set aside to dry, this is what I'm going to do while I move onto the other elements of my card. Using a MISTI to stamp the images from the Butterflies stamp set by Time for Tea designs. I'm using Spectrum Noir Triblends to colour them up.



For the sentiment I've taken a piece of black cardstock and using opaque bright white WOW embossing powder. Versamark ink on the stamp and covered with the embossing powder, use a heat gun to set. 

Sticking the sentiment just under the inked section and the butterflies within the inked area I added just a small amount of embellishement.


I love how quick, clean and simple this card came together. I'd love to hear your thought's in the comments, are you working on valentine day cards right now or something else?

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
