Hey everyone! I hope you are having a great (and creative) summer! Today I have a couple of fun cards to share with you using the totally gorgeous Vintage Butterflies Blooms Stamps & Dies by Creative Worship Stamps.
I was trying to try some new color combos and this one was created with Worn Lipstick and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I used texture paste through the new Lovely Lace stencil, then stamped in Brushed Corduroy with the branch stamp around that. I sprayed it with water repeatedly to diffuse the stamping. I added another torn layer with more stamping using the little berry bundle, then another inky layer unstamped. I pulled some pieces from my leftover pile and cut them into little tags, topped with the awesome tag topper in the Tag & More Die Set. These were stamped with my Faith Definitions 2 stamps and the Vintage Snippets stamps. I finished with a sentiment from Typed Thoughts.
My next cards were stamped repeatedly from the same branch stamp in the Vintage Butterflies Blooms Stamps using Archival ink in Coffee. I stamped them as a pair so I could overlap stamping. I found the branch works great going all in one direction for a row, then turning it upside down for the next row. I dipped the panels in watery Antique Linen Distress Ink, then very loosely watercolored the petals and leaves with Tattered Rose, Wild Honey and Crushed Olive. For the green berries I used a marker.
I then cut my cardstock in half vertically to make two top-fold cards. I used the new Decorative Edges Dies to cut the bottom of the cards and colored panels. I found a scrap of textured card and used oval dies to cut "relief panels" then sponged the edges with Wild Honey and stamped the floral motif from the set in Tattered Rose in the middle. I layered with watercolored butterflies and sentiments from Typed Thoughts. I just love these pretty panels and stamping my own backgrounds always gives me such a thrill! I hope you will try it too. Hugs, Autumn
