Happy Sunday...and happy spring! The weather here is FINALLY warming up and there is a definite feeling of spring in the air. The new colour challenge over at
Sunday Stamps is perfect to welcome the new season...
Here is my Design Team project:
 |
| Thank you card featuring the Butterflies Thinlits and the Embossed Embossing technique, with sentiment from Itty Bitty Banners |
I actually designed this project to do double duty! Not only is it for this week's challenge, we also made it at my montly techniques class last week. I used the Embossed Embossing technique to create the background. I embossed a piece of
Whisper White card stock using the
Spring Flowers TIEF. Then, after rubbing the
Embossing Buddy all over it, I inked a
brayer with
Versamark and lightly ran it over the raised pattern. I sprinkled it with
Blushing Bride embossing powder, shook off the excess and then heated it. I love the result!
The butterflies are die cut from
Wisteria Wonder and
Blushing Bride card stock using the Butterflies Thinlits. The little vines are punched from
Pear Pizzazz card stock using the
Bird Builder punch. I anchored them to the design using half of a
Tea Lace doily. The sentiment is from the
Itty Bitty Banners set and is stamped in
Wisteria Wonder ink and then die cut using the
Bitty Banners Framelits. I added a
Vintage Faceted button and a bit of Wisteria Wonder (retired) baker's twine. The card front is matted on a piece of
Wisteria Wonder card stock and adhered to a
Pear Pizzazz card base.
On the inside I stamped the large and small floral butterflies from the
Papillon Potpourri set in
Blushing Bride and
Wisteria Wonder ink, respectively. The sentiment is from the
Painted Petals set and is stamped in
Pear Pizzazz ink.
Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's sample projects and the new, fresh look over at
Sunday Stamps. Then give this challenge a go and play along!
