Today is day 3 of ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop and the beginning of a NEW challenge at The Card Concept.
Here is my card using Shower of Flutters - ARTplorations Stencil
I was inspired by the color green and pretty white frosting. on all those cupcakes in the TCC photo.
- I started with watercolor paper, and several colors of distress inks sponged on heavily...i.e. lots of color.
- Spritzed the back of the stencil with water and placed it on the inked paper..let it dry without lifting the stencil up.
- When dry and before lifting the stencil, I used the Tim Holtz Distress Marker Spritzer Tool and lightly misted some more color.
- NOW lift the stencil to reveal the butterflies!! oh so pretty:)
- Then I stamped Trendy Butterflies in gold over the top of some of the revealed images.
- I like to "shadow" the butterflies with a grey marker.
- The sentiment is gold embossed on vellum and simply wrapped around the BG paper.
- A bit of washi finished the edges.
- PPP SPRINGTIME mix LG flower sequins and SSS Tiny Flowers Sequins in VANILLA add a nice pop of sparkle for the butterflies to dance around:) I used Tiny 1/8" clear ZOTS to adhere them.
