Butterflies Fluttering

Hello Crafty Folks, I am back today with a colorful card.  I discovered my love for gel plate printing and the background I used on this card is made using this technique with acrylic colors and LOTS of different Whimsy products (see link list below)

The butterfly and sentiment are from the newly released DoveArt stamp set Butterflies Fluttering. I stamped the butterfly on a piece of the background paper and fussy cut it to match it perfectly to the BG.

Even though the butterfly blends in in terms of color, the fact that it is cut out and popped up gives a nice 3D effect on the card. The added Stickles to the wings add a nice touch of bling.

I created a watercolor look with the acrylics on my gel plate and after printing I added more texture and depth to the print using different Whimsy stamps and stencil with Archival Ink and acrylic paints, distress crayons and doodling with a white gel pen.

Fairy Ariel Dressed Up for St. Paddy's Day

Happy TGIF to all my crafty friends! Did you know Whimsy Stamps is having a St. Patricks Day Event going on in our FB group?  Share your St Patrick's Day predominantly 'green' creations with us featuring a Whimsy Stamps image and be in the draw for some great prizes. Please see all the details and infos HERE. Whimsy has several awesome images/stamps for this event.

Of course any green colored Whimsy image will count! So this is why I picked Fairy Ariel by Marina Fedotova for my green project.

The background for my card was created using a solid green paper from the Tiger DP. I love that the Whimsy DP is very high quality and has that luxurious sheen to it. The texture was created with the Messy Mesh BG stamp by Deb Davis and Versafine Clair Green Oasis stamp. I used the Notched Square die set to cut out my fairy.

Ariel was colored with Copics. I gave her red hair for a nice contrast to the green and also because if I think of Irish, red hair comes to mind....lol. Please find a list of Copics used below.

The sentiment is from the Butterflies Fluttering Set, a DoveArt Stamp. A few added gemstones finish off my card. 

Copics used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, R11

Hair & Flowers: YR30, YR31, YR15, YR18, E09

Dress: YG21, YG03, YG17, YG67

Best Kind of Friend

Happy Saturday! Hi friends I hope y'all are having a fabulous weekend so far. Bunny Balloons 2 is the name of a super cute clear stamps set from Whimsy's March release. These floating bunnies with their balloons are not only super adorable but extremely versatile for birthday cards, encouraging messages, celebration cards or just a 'Hello' note.

Here is my card made using the Bunny Balloons 2 set, Beaucoup Bouquet clear set & matching  Beaucoup Bouquet die set as well as the Pierced and Stitched Circles die set.

I started out with a A2 size top fold card cut from heavy weight black cardstock. For my background I used heavy weight mixed media paper (Strathmore 140lbs). This is my absolute favorite paper to use for ink blending. Ink blends like butter, very smooth and without leaving any marks from the sponge or brush. In addition it is very sturdy and water friendly. It won't curl, get soaked nor will the surface look puffy after adding water or water based ink/color. 

I sponged my background panel with Salty Ocean distress ink. Spritzed on clear water and dabbed off the excess with a paper towel. Then I used watered down Chipped Sapphire distress ink and a brush to add some dark blue splatters; dabbing off the excess again. My background panel is about 1/8" smaller than my card base.

I die cut the circle frame from white cardstock using the Pierced and Stitched Circles die set. I stamped the bunny and the flowers & foliage with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Hammermill 100lbs color copy paper (it's the perfect paper for alcohol inks, just not for any kind of water or water based ink/color). I colored with Copics and Faber Castell Polychromos.
The flowers and foliage were die cut with the matching die set and the bunny was fussy cut.

I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink. After assembling my card (I used foam tape for some of the elements to give it more dimension) I added 2 sequins and some purple Stickles to the bunnies bow tie for a finishing touch.

Copics & Polychromos used:

Copics

E30, E50, E31, E33, E35
RV00, RV63, RV66
YG03, YG13, YG17

Y13, Y35
BV01, BV04
