Stampendous: Fluttering By

How about a bright and sunny card full of butterflies and fun to scare away the winter blues? All of this week the Stampendous team have been letting our  butterflies take flight. I had fun creating beautiful backgrounds with the Creative Palette, by spritzing Dreamweaver Memories Mists in Mango Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, and Iridescent colors, spraying a bit of water, and place several panels of white cardstock onto the surface to transfer the colors and patterns. As the inks began to dry a bit, I used them with the Stack Art Regal Bird cling stamps as ink pads to add patterns to these panels. Then I switched my mist color to Lavender Tea, and used this as an inkpad to stamp one of the beautiful Cling Pen Pattern Butterflies on my favorite panel. Using the medium butterfly die that matches the butterfly stamps, I cut one from the edge of the panel. This butterfly was folded up to add more dimension to the panel. I used dimensional foam tape to adhere the panel over the top of a white cardstock panel stamped with the Cling Vintage Letter Script in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. To finish off this card, I applied a glue marker to adhere a heavy sprinkling of Amethyst and Canary Color Fragments.

Butterflies Tiled Card

I love stamps with a mostly solid image. They are so simple to create with. Just pretty colored inks, markers, or in this case, stamped and embossed. These lend themselves well to a tiled panel. Just punch out the amount of tiles you want, place them on scrap paper with a small piece of d-sided tape, stamp over all and emboss. Remove from scrap paper and adhere to larger panel leaving slight "grout" area. The background was stamped and embossed randomly with a tone-on-tone look. Add a couple of embellishments, and "voila" (say with cheesy french accent!), you have a perfect card for so many occasions. Set aside your watercolors and emboss for a change!
