The lovely butterfy

The lovely butterfly

Today i will show you how i made this card with the lovely butterfly stamp on a gelli plate.

I used the following products from Lisa Horton:

- Majestic butterfly's

- pastel pearls

- White mermaid tails glitter

- texture a6 stamp

- 

At first i used the distress oxide stamp pad, and coverd the gelli plate with the ink.

Next i rolled over the gelli plate to cover the ink over the whole plate.

Then i used the lovely butterfly from Lisa and stamped it with two other distress oxide paints.

Then i stamped the stamp carefully on the gelli plate. To create an impession of the coloured butterfly on the plate.

The stamp imprint you can put that on a blanc peice of paper.

Then take a white peice of paper and lay that on the gelli plate. Carefully rub it and pull it of the plate. And thats your background with the butterfly.

Next i cut out the stamped image from the butterfly.

Now i took some glue and put some lovely white mermaid tails on the butterfly and let that dry.

In meanwhile stick the background on to a black peice of paper, that should be slightly bigger than the background paper. And that together i put that on a slightly bigger piece of white cardstock.

Then glue the butterfly its body on the body of the butterfly from the background card.

Then stamp the background with the texture stamp to add some depth to the card.

As last decorate the card with some pearls and you can add a sentiment to it. And voila a lovely butterfly card is created.

Beautiful Butterflies in the spotlight

Hi there, Claire Newcombe back with you and sharing a project I created for the most recent of Lisa's Create & Craft shows, aired on 3rd April.

I created this peach card using the newly launched butterfly's designed for Lisa by the wonderfully talented Anne Ruffles.

This particular butterfly is from the Wings & Things set, still available in a couple of bundles and still exclusive to C&C (link below)

Today on the blog I have created this blue card, in the same style and with a step by step walk through for you. I will also be going live on Facebook on Tuesday 7th April recreating this card in real time too, it will be great if you can join me.

1. Wherever I can i like to work on Lisa's super smooth cardstock, not only is it great for stamping, it is fabulous to blend your inks on to also. To start I applied a small amount of light (tumbled glass) distress oxide through one of the newest stencils (Lisa's A5 stencil, Medieval design)

2. I cut a circle mask (3.5 inches wide) from copy paper, placed it on the project and then replaced the stencil over the top again. I made sure I pattern matched the stencil to the design already on the project. I tend to just hold the masks and stencils in place when I work, but you can of course use your preferred method to make them more secure before applying the ink.

3. As you can see from the photo below I now work a darker shade of ink ((broken china) round the outside edge of the circle and through the stencil.

4.Introduce another shade (iced spruce) to add some shadowing and continue building colour around the outside edge of the circle mask. When you remove the mask and stencil to reveal, you should have a highlighted circle. If you feel you need more depth of colour and shadow effect replace both mask and stencil and continue adding colour.

5. Use a fine liner pen to draw doodled lines around the outside edge of the project and also the highlighted circle. You now have a background ready to frame the main focal image of your project. I have chosen one of the butterflies from the beautiful 'Jewelled Buttlerfly' Collection, amd coloured it with alcohol markers. Ive added some sparkle with the new collection of mermaid tails, and stamped one of Lisa's Ticker tape sentiments.
