Butterfly Splatter Card by Gemma

I have another butterfly card to share with you today, I am really enjoying creating fairly simple cards with not a lot of fussiness at the moment.

This card was a larger square card to start with but it had a little accident and had to be redesigned.  

I started by putting small amounts of Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade, Distress Oxides onto a non-stick mat and mixed them with water, then using different sized small brushed I splattered the ink over a piece of cardstock. 

I then stamped three butterflies diagonally across the piece of card, one of these was later cut off. I also edged the card with yellow ink.

Once everything was dry I stamped along some areas of the sides with the plaid background stamp and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide, before stamping the words with love in archival ink.

To alter the card after it's little mishap I cut off the ruined area, applied more yellow ink to the edges and stamped, colored and cut out a new butterfly for the card front.

Thanks for stopping by

Dancer Card by Gemma

 I have a CAS card to share with you today using Distress Oxides and stamps

Cut a piece of white cardstock to fit your card blank and stamp a ballerina in the bottom corner using Versa Mark ink and heat emboss with black embossing powder. Leave additional powder over the card it will blend in with the splattered inks.

Spread three different colored Distress Oxide inks onto a craft mat, mix with water and use a paintbrush to splatter the ink onto the piece of card.

 Once dry use the same three inks and stamp around the edges with a backgrounds stamp. When stamping with the background stamp, overlap the stamping and the colours slightly.

Stamp the text near the edges of the card allowing the text to overhang the card in places, then mount onto a piece of black cardstock before gluing into place on the card blank and doodling a frame around the card with a black pen.
