Hi, Friends......
I am here with a last minute entry into Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge
where she asks us this time to use butterflies plus V is for Vases and/or Vanilla. I chose some warm vanilla cardstock and did an emboss resist card in soft colors.
My vase and flower images are from an unidentified Stampin' Up set I got at a thrift store. The butterflies are from my ancient Rubber Stampede Victorian Butterfly set. (I hope I am not the only one who still uses old foam mount rubber stamps that are nearly 30 years old!!!) I stamped them all with Versamark and heat embossed them with white powder.....a creamy white, not my whitest white. I sponged some distress ink around the embossed images and wiped off the excess with a baby wipe. Then I added some spatters of Clearsnap - Smooch Spritz in Carrot Cake.
Other supplies used:
Scraps of DCWV paper for matting
Tulle ribbon from thrift store
Metallic gold photo corners
kraft card base
I hope you like the soft colors of this card. I love how it turned out. Thank you for stopping by!!!
<3
Janis

Oooh, love the touched of gold from the photo corners! They add the perfect sparkle to your soft colors and image. I am really loving those splatters in Carrot Cake, and I love the name Carrot Cake even more! Time for a midnight snack maybe?
ReplyDeleteI too have foam mounted stamp sets that are practically prehistoric but I unmounted most of them to get cleaner images some years back. My first stamps were all foam mounted and I still love every one!
This is so pretty Janis. The colours are gorgeous and the white embossed image works perfectly. Barbxx

ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Janis! Lovely colors. I think I need some WOW white embossing powder; what I have doesn't seem to work this well. (And hopefully your photo corners will count as an office supply!).
