Rosie

My latest DT project for Creative Expressions is a card using Sam Poole's Butterfly Girl and Bubble Wrap stamp sets, I also used Sam Poole's Art Phrases.

I edged a white card blank with victorian velvet and aged mahogany Distress inks. For the background I inked the rose stamp with two shades of pink Whispers felt tips and stamped it over some white card, then I stamped the bubblewrap with victorian velvet and peeled paint Distress ink. I coloured enough card to stamp the butterfly girl and cut out her dress. I stamped the girl onto some white card and masked her so that I could stamp the dots then I edged the card with victorian velvet and aged mahogany. I coloured the girl with felt tips and adhered the patterned dress that I'd cut out earlier. I stamped her again onto pink vellum and cut out the wings and adhered them to the girl. The seam binding was coloured with victorian velvet Distress stain and left wrinkled. The leaves were stamped and coloured with peeled paint. I used a Marianne Design flower die to make the roses out of the same vellum that I'd used for the wings.

I'm entering my card in the Crazy Amigo Free Theme Challenge.

Less Is More Playing With Ink

They are playing with inks at Less Is More this week so as I've just bought some Distress Stain Dabbers I thought I would use those. I dabbed some worn lipstick, scattered straw, victorian velvet, rusty hinge and tattered rose onto some paper then pressed my white card blank onto it. I then stamped the image and sentiment.
The stamps that I've used are
Dina Wakley/Stampington for the main image, I love this stamp.
Creative Expressions Dream set for the sentiment.
