Creative Team Love You Mama Butterfly Card

Creative Team Love You Mama Butterfly Card

Instructions:
 
So today I have a beautiful Butterfly card with the IO Butterflies stamp set and the C4U Claudie Butterfly die. I started by heat embossing butterflies onto watercolour paper using VersaMark embossing ink. I then watercoloured the stamped panel with Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst Alizarin Crimson, Yellow Ochre.
 
 
Once the watercoloured panel was completely dry, I mounted it on top-folded white card base using C4U double sided tape first, and then added the sentiment & Claudie Butterfly die cut using C4U foam tape.
 

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Supplies:

 
 
Today I have a watercoloured CAS card with Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst: Alizarin Crimson and Yellow Ochre.
 

Before applying Color burst, I brushed on watercolour paper with clean water. I then applied Color burst powder on a wet watercoloured surface. I spritzed Alizarin Crimson (red, left) first, lightly brushed red colour and then added Yellow Ochre (right).


It’s my first time to use Color Burst. The colours are so vibrant and beautiful!!

 
I die cut butterflies from white card stock using the C4U Mable Butterfly & Claudie Butterfly die cuts. They are so pretty!!

Creative Team Where the Wind Takes You

Creative Team Where the Wind Takes You

By Creative Team member - Helen Cooke

 
 

Supplies:

 
 
Cardstock white, mustard
 
Inkssentials – Foil Tape Sheets
 
Adirondack Alcohol Inks – Butterscotch; Lettuce; Cranberry; Eggplant
 
 
 
Carpe Diem word label stickers – Posh
 
 
 

Instructions:

I started by cutting white card 14.5cm x 8cm.  I next cut a piece of the foil tape sheet just a little bigger and adhered it to the white card.  Foil tape is quite sticky however, if it isn’t straight, it is possible to gently peel it back and reposition it.  Trim any overhanging excess.
Next, put it in the Butterfly and Vine embossing folder and run it through your  Cuttlebug (or equivalent).
Add drops of Butterscotch and Lettuce alcohol ink to the applicator and pounce over the foil.  As it dries quite quickly, you can continue doing this until happy with how it looks.  I then dripped a tiny amount of the blending solution onto the swirls which allowed the original colour of the foil to show through.
 
 
On a piece of leftover foil (attached to white card) I repeated the process, this time using Cranberry and Eggplant alcohol ink.  I then cut three Claudie butterflies, folded up their wings and adhered just their bodies to the butterflies on the embossed card.
 
 
I found a sentiment that was appropriate for the butterflies and stuck them on the right hand side of the tag.
I finished off by adhering the tag to a piece of textured mustard card which is just a couple of millimetres bigger than the original tag. I punched a hole in the top and added some ribbon which co-ordinated with the butterflies.

Working on the white card stock, Use a stencil, a palette knife and the Cadence cream foil bond. Stencil the foil bond through the stencil cleanly and put aside until it has dried enough that the cream colour looks clear
