Free to Fly

Hi everyone,

Well I’ve been busy lately doing some house painting and now that it’s finished I have some time for my card making.

I made this one with alcohol inks and a beautiful butterfly stamp.

I added different colours of alcohol ink to parts of the butterfly and stamped directly on to my card stock

I like that it is not such a crisp image and the lines are a little blurred.

I added Foundry Wax to the edges of my card base and then mounted it to a piece of dark green card stock with distressed edges.

The base card was sprayed with Cracked Pistachio and Black Soot Distress sprays.

I mounted the 2 panels directly to the card and added a sentiment with foam tape. I added a little gold metallic rub on to the sentiment.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

 Hi everyone,

Well Gladys arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to play and create.

I started by creating my background piece with Distress reinkers and water using a smooshing technique. I then die cut the piece with a scalloped rectangle die.

For an added touch I stitched the edges with black thread first with a straight stitch and then with a zig zag stitch. 

I purposely didn’t stitch a straight line as I didn’t want it to look perfect.

I assembled Gladys using various colours of pink card stock and added glossy accents to the beak and eyes.

I used a distressing tool to distress the edges of the dark green card stock piece.

The letters were done with an embossing folder and black card stock and inked with silver metallic rub on.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
