Hello, Sharon from Hummingbird Papercrafts here with my latest card. I have used one of the stunning butterflies from Floating On Dreams Stamp Set.
I used a number of different products as well as the stamp set:
To start place the Spotlight Circle Stencil over a piece of Perfect Blend Cardstock. I had cut the card to 4×5.5in so it was slightly narrower than a A2 card base.
Over the circle I lined up the Acutely Aware Stencil, held this in place with magnets and inked over it with Icy Mist Ink.
Once I removed the stencils I had a patterned spotlight in the center of my card. I then chose one of the gorgeous butterflies from Floating on Dreams and stamped this near the top left of the card. I used Remarkable Eclipse Ink for this, 1 so it stood out against the inking and 2 because I wanted to color it with alcohol markers.
The stamp set has some word trails which I stamped in Vegas Strip Ink. These trails are fine enough so you can shape them when you place on your stamping tool. I also added one of the sentiment from the set to the end of my trail.
I wanted some contrast to the card so colored the butterfly in red and pink markers. It is such a pretty stamp.
Now to build my card. I used a Top Folding A2 Card Base which I covered with Redwoods Solid Core Cardstock.
My image was added to the base using foam tape to give my card some dimension. For further interest I added some Roller Skate Crown Jewels. These help draw the eye in to the image making this the main focus.
The Floating on Dreams Stamp Set has 5 different butterflies and 5 different word trails so you can mix and match for your needs. There is also a bunch of sentiments that fit with the word trails like the one I used on my card.
Thank you for taking time to read my post. I hope this has given you inspiration for your next card.
