Friend Card

I got a chance to get a little crafty tonight and really wanted to create something with the new Hero Arts/Sizzix Stamp and Emboss Collage Background. I decided not to use the embossing folder but did use the stamp on a label I cut from Neenah cardstock with a Spellbinders Die.

(Supplies Used: WorldWin/Neenah Cardstock, My Mind's Eye Patterned Paper, Hero Arts Stamps, Ranger/Tsukineko Ink, Queen & Co. Pearls, Clearsnap Smooch)

After I stamped it with black Hero Hues ink, I traced the word friend with a Versamark marker and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I also stamped an additional butterfly with Versafine ink, clear embossed it and added it to the stamped image with pop dots for dimension.

All of the colour on the background and butterfly was done with Distress Inks (Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters, Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet) The shiny sparkle on the butterfly was done with Smooch Pearlized Top Coat. This stuff is great for adding a little sparkle to finished projects.

Be back soon!
