I recently won 2 gift certificates to Stamplorations & didn't wait long to spend them. My goodies were waiting for me yesterday when we got home from running errands & I had to make a card. I used Trendy Butterflies stamp set & Confetti Circles stencil. My inks are Memento Gray Flannel, Tuxedo Black & Distress inks picked raspberry, shaded lilac & peacock feathers. The area for the stenciling was masked with Washi tape & then edged with Score Tape for the prisma glitter. My favorite emboss resist technique worked perfectly with these gorgeous butterfly images. I added white cotton thread saved from clothing tags along with white sequins to embellish the butterflies. To be sure they didn't move, I attached them with a small piece of redline tape only in the center & lightly pulled up the wings. The Easter greeting will go on the inside & this gets mailed tomorrow. The sketch at Uniko Studio inspired me, but I probably got away from it too much. 
Thanks so much for all the sweet comments. Your visits always make my day.
Oooh...I LOVE the soft colors you used on the trendy butterflies, Greta! This is a gorgeous card! So happy to see you playing with your STAMPlorations goodies...and playing in our challenges, of course! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteLove everything about this card, Greta! You made some wise choices with your gift certificates. Stamplorations is a great company!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning some new stamping toys. I love that masked off technique and adding the glitter really makes it pop. Great, soft butterflies. Thanks for the hint about the challenge. I saw a similar card like I made in a stamp shop. It had a different sentiment and wasn't colored but otherwise pretty much the same so I didn't want to enter it in case it was a copy of the original. It's my understanding you can use something for your own inspiration but not enter it in challenges, so I respect that. But thanks again. There are so many challenges out there and I sure don't know them all so any help is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to play with new toys...you showed them off to perfection. Did you get your cards made? I finished mine around 3 am this morning...all enveloped and stamped but not photographed...lol Oh well.
ReplyDeletePretty butterflies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a soft and pretty trio of butterflies. Thin redline tape down the centers of the butterflies--that's very smart to give their wings lift but ensure they don't take off.
ReplyDeletelovely card, greta!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to play with new goodies!
ReplyDeleteI love your card and the butterflies really do like they're about to take off
Thanks Sweetie
