This is my card, what do you think??
It started with a square cream card that had the center masked out with a Post It note. I then took some skeleton leaves and pressed them onto some ink pads to coat them with colour, and then I randomly placed them around the edges of the card and rolled over them with a brayer to leave the veins design on the card, and then the leaf removed. Another leaf stamp and some splats were also added before the Post It was removed and a wavy line drawn around the inside of the leaf frame. The sentiment was stamped on the bottom of the center panel ( with the aide of my Stamp-a-ma-jig ) and a brown butterfly added above it stuck by its body so that its wings are dimensional ( the antennae were drawn on the card with a marker.)
Recipe :
Card = Whisper White and cream card base from my stash
Stamps = French Foliage, Strength and Hope, and Verve
Inks = Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Adirondack Rust
Tools = Speedball Brayer, Post It note and Stamp-a-ma-jig.
Extras = Skeleton Leaves
I hope to be back soon, but if not, I'll wish you all a good weekend.
Thanks for dropping by
What a clever technique Bev! Love the effect of your leafy border. Vx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful card! I love the use of a Post-It frame in order to create a great frame for your sentiment and your beautiful butterfly! Must CASE this! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea with the brayer must give it a go as I can't get it to work with my inks. A great card, thanks for joining in again with us at Make My Monday.
