Hello
again,
I recently
discovered Darkroom Door Stamps are a smallish Aussie company and purchased
three sets of the same stamps… one for me and the other as a small thank you to
Di for running the ever popular Snippets Playground, with an extra set for the
toy box… spreading some love for one of our Home grown stamp companies in the
process. Miss Di was unaware that I had posted anything and I received an
excited email after the surprise package arrived, with a huge thank you from
Di.
I think Di
does an amazing job running Snippets Playground and giving away so many prizes
to all of the class mates all over the world. A Huge thank you to Di for all
the fun and giggles and encouragement to use up those little bits and pieces
from my scrap box along the way, and a huge Thank you for having me as a Guest
Designer again.
On to my
card, my Sister-in-Law started off my collection of spray inks a few years ago
and I have of course added to them and spent some time making a mess, I
mean creating a few backgrounds with them in various colours to set aside for
later use making various sizes based on how much white paper and card I had
laying around, from small 3 inch squares to whole A4 sheets. I used two spray
inks for the main background Crushed Grape and London Blue and I’m guessing
Cherry Pie and Lemon Zest on the butterfly all from Dylusions.
I stamped
the butterfly directly onto one of the smaller pieces of cardstock and the
sentiment onto another two white snippets (do they breed when I’m not
looking???) and heat embossed them both with Black glossy embossing powder. I
fussy cut the butterfly and sentiment out, laying them on the card before
deciding to get out one of my stencils and some white ink to add more interest
in the background, carefully inking directly on the card with the ink pad. Moving the stencil around so the pattern would be a little random. Another CCD
die arrived around that time that I thought looked perfect for more interest
and I used yet another white snippet to cut one, which was then cut in two
pieces and placed behind the butterfly. I finally stuck everything down adding
foam dots behind the butterfly to give some more dimension finishing off the
card with a few sequins from a local discount store.
