Butterfly Artist Trading Card

 

I came upstairs to do one thing and ended up dipping into the craft room, making this Artist Trading Card (ATC).

I used bits of off-cuts of patterned paper, and washi tape for the background.  I added a layered die of a butterfly using two Memory Box Inc dies (Pippi Butterfly 98508 and Isabella Butterfly 98507), colouring the top layer of the butterfly with "Abandoned Coral" Distress Oxide Ink.  Finally adding a word sticker saying "use your wings" some sticky black dots and a dot of white Ranger Enamel Accents.

Lace "Thank You" Card

Well my crafting mojo is missing at the moment, hence there being so few crafting posts.

A friend recently gifted mea box of crafting goodies, including fabrics, ribbons, laces and various trims.  This is the card I have made using some of the lace and a lace butterfly from the box of crafting items I received.

I used Kraft card and a Lawn Fawn stamp from their "Simply Sentiments" stamp set for the "Thank You" which I heat embossed using Wow! Opaque Vanilla White embossing powder, which I heat set.

Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge - Day 74

Today is Day 74 of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge.  This week the prompt is to use "Crayons".

For this piece, I lightly drew the outline of a butterfly in pencil, then using red, orange and pink coloured crayons, I started adding dots of colour to the wings, towards the body, I added lines of the three colours so that they practically blended in with each other, then used the orange crayon to draw over my pencil lines.  For the body of the butterfly, I used a black fine liner pen and a white gel pen.

Ranger Alcohol Lift-Ink Butterfly Card Topper

I continued with playing with alcohol inks in a way this afternoon.  While I was filing away the backgrounds I had made earlier, I came across a scrap of a previous alcohol ink project, so decided to have a play.

I found an old rubber stamp that I've had for about fifteen + years and decided it was a nice image to play with.  I inked the stamp up with Ranger/Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift Ink and stamped onto the scrap of background I found.

I then removed the background, replacing it with a piece of white card then without re-inking the stamp, stamped again onto the card.  The ink that the stamp had lifted from the background had clung to the stamp and then transferred to the white card, providing a pretty image.

Here's a photo of the scrap of background, after I had buffed the image where I had stamped to remove any remaining "Lift ink".  It didn't leave an awfully clear stamp impression, but you never know, it could well appear in a future creation... I loath to throw any crafty scraps out!

Visible Image Butterfly Birthday Card

Another December birthday.  I made this card using the Gelli Plate for the base.  The butterfly is a Visible Image stamp.  The sentiment is a Papertrey Ink stamp from their "Stylish Sentiments" both stamped in Versafine "Black Onyx".

I've used a Sakura Jelly Roll Pen to add silver shimmer dots across the card, which unfortunately do no get picked up very well in the photograph.

Visible Image Butterfly Card

This card started off with several layers of different colours of Distress Oxides.  I then used Distress Inks through a Clarity Stamps Stencil.

I used a Visible Image butterfly stamp for the central image.  The sentiment was free with a Crafts Beautiful magazine (Dec 2017). Finally I added a few extra shimmery dots, which can not be seen in the photograph, using a Sakura Jelly Roll pen.

Fly Butterfly Tag

I started this tag by stamping the butterfly image (using the butterfly from the Stampin' Up set called "Touch Of Nature") onto a prepared Panpastel background and then masked the area so that I could stamp the script background (using Crafter's Companion script cling stamp).  

I then used a couple of Tim Holtz stampers anonymous stamps for the honeycomb and heavy black dot shapes. I then stamped the flower (below the butterfly) which was part of a "Little Claire" stamp set, sticking embellishments to the centres.  The edges were inked with various shades of ink and the stickers "Fly" were added.
