Hello my lovely friends
I got some new stamps in the mail yesterday and I just had to have a wee play along with them. I get excited when the mail man comes with my new Unity stamps ha :) I wanted to create a silhouette flower card with wee butterflies dancing in a dusky sky.
I started off with two different stamp sets. The flowers are from the In My Garden stamp set and the sentiment is from the Struggle and Strength stamp set. I used my Peerlees watercolor paints to create the background. Then I stamped each flower individually with black archival ink. Next I took a black fine liner pen and drew in some grass. I then punched two tiny butterflies from black card and glued them in place. Next I mounted it on to some black card and them a white card base. Finally I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card.
I love the way my card turned out I hope you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card, Mandi! The skyline is beautiful (I saw one close to that here a couple weeks ago - it's breathtaking!).
ReplyDeleteI love it. The struggle and strength set is my favorite. It reminds me that if you don't struggle in life you'll never have the strength to face what life gives you. I love the colors you've used in the card. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour silhouette card is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this sometime.
