Geometric Butterfly

Hello all,

With the ongoing Cas-ual Friday challenge, I thought to make a CAS card with the Geometric Butterfly from the Geometric Nature stamp set from Mudra.

The set is wonderful and provide a wide range of possibilities. I stamped the butterfly from the set on to a paper with Versamark and embossed it white. I colored them using Felt pens.

Fussy cut them and adhered on a Grey Cardstock with double sided tape. 

The sentiment is from the same set. I thought to choose pastel colors for the background against the colorful popping butterfly. 

I have used washi tapes to border the panel on three sides. The tiny butterfly is from the same set.

I hope you have liked the project.

Here, I have colored the image with three colors of Red, Orange and Yellow with Crayola Markers. I added some shimmer to it with Wink of Stella.

Then I gathered all the stamp sets from Mudra ( images are at the bottom of the post) and found all the images of BIRTHDAY sentiment. I stamped randomly all of them with Versamark leaving small gaps and them embossed them will clear embossing powder from Wow.

A circular diecut window is the best suited with the butterfly, that I thought. I adhered a piece of vellum to give a nice translucent look to the window.

Here is the full image:

July Release and Challenge inspiration For Peek-A-boo Designs

Hello All

With the fresh start of the month, I am here happy to announce that I have been chosen as one of the Design Team members of the Peek-A-boo designs India from July’16 to Dec’16. I am all set to have fun crafting time with the other awesome DT members.

On the first day of the new release of the July products, we bring to you a new challenge for this month too. Hop on to their blog for more details.

The theme of the challenge is LAYERS.

You can layer your creation with anything may it be stamping or dies or may be a combination of both.

So, here I am with my two projects for July challenge inspiration.

FIRST PROJECT

My first project is with the stamp set that I have designed for the Peek-A-Boo : Humming blossoms. And I couldn’t resist myself from trying this first. The steps that I have followed for making this card go on like this…

1.       Embossed the flourish from the stamp set with white embossing powder and masked it and again stamp it to the down to make it a good bunch of flowers.

2.       Colored it with distress inks and the background too.

3.       Splattered some distress ink (artistry ink – Ocean reef) on the background.

4.       Meanwhile stamped and colored the humming bird and fussy cut the same. Stuck the bird with the double tape on the background.

5.       Stamped the sentiment from the same set with Black Archival ink.

6.       Finished it with some pink sequins.

Take a closer look

SECOND PROJECT

For my second project too, I have selected a stamp set that I have designed- Bold Butterflies. It is best suited for the mixed media crafters but the CAS crafters also cant ignore this.

1.       Embossed the background white with Swirly Time.

2.       Colored the background with different distress inks by blending it together.

3.       Cut it manually for the shape in between.

4.       Embossed the bold butterflies with Princess Gold and Enchanted gold on a vellum and fussy cut it.

5.       Finally the border inside with the stamp “Its Plaid time”.

Take a look…
