Nature Lover - Kaszazz

Hello

I hope you are enjoying your day.
These cards feature images and dies from Kaszazz Nature Lover collection.

Your Wings Exist image was stamped on to a square of white card, with Archival ink, then again on to a second piece of white card, making sure to capture the whole butterfly image. This second  butterfly was then cut out with the corresponding die, and coloured with watercolour pencils.

A white square card base was layered with a smaller square of Messages patterned paper.

The stamped square was matted on to a slightly larger frame of gold glitter card, then mounted on to the card front. The butterfly was added by gluing down the body and raising the wings with magic mount. Gems were added to the butterfly and the corners, and sitckles to part of the wings.

For this card Bucket of Flowers, and the sentiment, were stamped in Archival ink on to white card, layered on to embossed paper, then on to a white card base. A strip of patterned paper was layered over the join of the card and paper. Bucket of Flowers was stamped and gold embossed on to a second piece of white card and then die cut. This image was coloured with watercolour pencils and a small bow tied from gold thread was added. This piece was then mounted offset, above the image stamped on the card front. Gems were then added.

This card is a white square card base layered with Florentine Red paper from Nostalgic collection, which has been wrapped with ribbon secured with a pearl brad. Camellia Wreath and the sentiment have been stamped on white card and coloured with watercolour pencils. This panel was then added to the card front. 

The camellia was stamped on to a second piece of white card, coloured, and fussy cut, then mounted over the original stamped image.

Pearls were added to finish the design.

Butterfly Cards featuring Darkroom Door - Butterflies

Hello

In North Queensland we have an absolutely beautiful blue butterfly, known as the Blue Mountain Butterfly or the Ulysses Butterfly. I have created the following cards using an image from Darkroom Door's Butterflies Stamp Set - this butterfly is not the same shape as the Ulysses. The Ulysses is a large swallowtail...

I stamped the image with Versamark Black Ink and then embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I have then coloured the butterfly with Copic B29 Ultramarine. Next I outlined the image and traced over the wing details with my Jelly Roll Stardust Pen and finally coated with Ranger's Glossy Accents.

Using a white card base, layering with black card, then a white layer which features the butterfly images and then adhering the coloured butterfly with mounting tape makes the butterfly appear as though it is hovering above the card. Here is a closer view of a butterfly...

These butterflies are so beautiful, you can't help feeling blessed when you are lucky enough to see one!

Hope you have at least one moment of feeling blessed today!

I had these really pretty papers and thought they would be perfect for  Mother's Day cards.

For the first card 1 sheet of paper was used. The sections were matted on to coordinating coloured card, and  layered together with ribbon wrapped between the layers. A sentiment was stamped and punched out and added, along with gems. Glossy accents, Wink of Stella, and stardust pens added highlights.

This gatefold card uses 2 sheets of paper.
The Mother's Day sentiment is from Kaszazz. Gems, a rhinestone butterfly and paper roses were added to this card. Wink of Stella and stardust pens add extra sparkle.

Have you chosen a card for your Mum, or other special lady in your life?
