For my weekly card and a cuppa I have been working my way along my stamp shelf. This week butterfly basics came out. I have used this many times with a variety of colourways but at this time of year I didn't want pink or yellow.
I decided I would go neutral. I have used crumb cake and early expresso ink.
The first card is almost a single layer card. Just the butterfly stamped on a bit of extra then fussy cut. The butterfly has a soft gold button with a bit of bakers twine. This would work with a range of coloured card for the butterfly....use your favourite.
The second card I really enjoyed making. I stamped the flower onto crumb cake with early expresso then I have used an aqua painter to develop the colour on the flower and leaves. The fern is stamped with crumb cake but stamped off first. Because it looked aged I decided to follow this theme through by tearing the edges, there is a knack to this which is my taught technique for the session. I have used some very vanilla ribbon layered up with some of the black lace trim from the current seasonal catalogue. I looked a bit stark just on the early expresson base card so I have added a piece of newsprint from my stash.
I wonder what we will be doing next Tuesday.
