Shadow Stamped Butterfly

Hi Dreamers!
Back again today!  During the month of January the Blockheads Design Team will be showcasing projects with a butterfly theme.  Fortunately, I love butterflies.  And, I have been having fun with some of my new butterfly stamps from Blockheads Stamps and will have lots of projects to share with you this month.  Today, I have a card that incorporates shadow stamping.  Take a look.




Materials List:
Stamps: All from Blockheads-
Stencil Stamps
Whimsical-Take Flight
Verses-Special Delivery
Inks:
Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress Inks
CS: White and pale green





Instructions:

  • On white CS, Stamp the large shadow stamp with Crushed Olive ink
  • Stamp the Script stamp (Whimsical-Take Flight) with Crushed Olive
  • Stamp the Butterfly with Forest Moss ink
  • Make a card base from pale green CS



Inside


  • Repeat for inside omitting the script and stamping off once for the shadow stamp and butterfly
  • Stamp sentiment with Forest Moss ink
I made the  stamping on the inside lighter so that I could write over it with a regular pen.  





And, how about a few super fun challenges for my Butterfly in Green Card!!??
Tuesday Taggers: new stash--used two new stamp sets
Paper Take Weekly: anything goes
Craftdoor Magazine: anything goes #51
Flutterby Wednesday: use a butterfly
Loves Rubber stamps: anything goes

I hope everyone had a lovely Holiday!!  I am glad to be back in the swing of things and not making Christmas cards!!  LOL.   No, seriously, I do love making C cards but, I am happy to be making other things now.  Have a great New Years day!!!  Love ya.
Karen
