As the wind is howling outside, it's nice to hibernate inside where I can stay warm. This can often prod me into trying some different techniques for a change.
Here you will see some stenciling, rubber stamping, and both dry and heat embossing.
First, the card front. I die cut a window on the left, and then dry embossed the line pattern; added some distress ink, then traced a line border around the window.
Next the stenciled flowers. I used complementary colours of distress ink and placed the finished pattern behind the window.
Next, a corner die cut. Then the butterfly is stamped and heat embossed with gold, again coloured with DI's, and finally fussy cut and attached with foam dots.
Almost done. Just a sentiment and some sparkles and glitter to finish it off. Makes for a card that could be sent to anyone when you just want to say Hi.
Supplies used:
Butterfly stamp - from Stämpelkällan
Stencil Mania - Daisies
Memory Box die - Madera Corner
Spellbinders die - Labels Eight
