Hi there crafters out there, it is time for a Brand New Challenge over at the We Love To Create Challenge Blog....are you ready for it.....sponsored by the amazingly talented Polkadoodles!!
So what do I have in store for you for this challenge...
I made an Autumn Butterfly card, the ones that know me figured it out allready, I admit I am a Butterfly Addict, cannot help myself the butterfly is an amazing creature and I just love them. That's why I made a card with butterflies for the Challenge from We Love To Create.....
I started out with a piece of cardstock...I colored it with Distress Oxides, purple, orange and blue/green colors. I was using my Brayer to devide the colors on the paper for the background. I spritzed the inks with water and dried it with my Heattool.
After that my background was dry I played with some Gesso. Again with the Brayer I devided the Gesso on the paper untill I thought it was ligt enough. I have been repeating this a few times.
After that, the background has been worked on with the Texture Galore, Honey Daisy and Vintage Text Stampsets. The Doodle Borders stampset is used all around my card.
So what did I do next.....I had a second piece of cardstock or actually aquarell paper and played with water and distress oxides and Gesso. Dried it up with my Heattool and than I stamped the Papillon butterfly on the paper with Versamark and embossed my butterfly.
When My butterflies were embossed with white embossingpowder I took a babywhipe and tipped a bit of the ink on it, with the babywhipe I colored some corners of the butterfly.
And here is the result. Than I played a bit with the Nuvo glitter Drops on the wings of the butterflies. And it gives them such a nice shimmer.
So this is my card from upclose. I sure hope you like it and hopefully I have given you some inspiration on how to make a similar card like this one.
