butterfly birthday
Do you guys like the blog re-do? Mary Dawn click on her name for the link, re-designed the blog look! She does awesome work and is very affordable! You so Rock! I love the re-do!
I am just thrilled with the new look!
Onto today’s cute project.
This is a so-safron card base with a layer of decorative paper that measures 5 1/4″ x4 “, the three layers on top are the new labels dies from nestabilities. Click here for information on buying them from overstock.com
I recently purchased a few new sizzix dies at my local craft store. I cut the packaging up so I would have sheets of strong plastic to use for projects. (Hey its a great way to recycle!) I used my static bag to prepare the surface, and stamped the butterfly twice (Martha Stewart crafts) onto the acetate using Versa mark ink. I then (very carefully) embossed it using black embossing enamel.
I cut the butterflies out and colored from the un-embossed side using copic markers. I cut the antenna off one butterfly and the other I split the wings down the middle. I attached the butterfly to the flower panel using an ordinary staple. I then used a sharpie marker to hide the staple!
It is finished off with sponging of the layers of label die cuts and it also has a small shrink plastic butterfly and prima flowers to finish it off. The sentiment is from Hanna stamps.
My next video tutorial will be how to stamp and emboss on Transparencies (aka acetate) so I hope you’ll stay tuned!
Have a great night!
