Yes, we have come full circle & it is the first birthday of the Daring Cardmakers. I have been following them from the very beginning & have enjoyed the pleasure of being one of the guest Designers'. I was very thrilled with the subject as I have fabulous friend stamps & also I got my brand new butterfly stamps yesterday & wanted to play.
Front of card
Inside the Card.
This was so much fun to make. I made the card by stamping text down one side & applying torn paper to the other. I stamped the friends quote in the bottom corner & the flourish in the top. Then I set aside my card & made all the elements. The large circle is half clear embossed & half stamped & then purple ink sponged over it. The butterflies are my new toy & I am so thrilled with them. I have to plug this company as they have gorgeous products & are really amazing people. The link to the site is Crafty Indivduals to see the stamps as they were before I cut & circle punched them click on this word Butterflies. I do urge you to have a good look at the online shop. The stamps are all their own designs & I have many more shopping lists planned!!
As for my recent order, more items will be made very soon using bits & pieces bought from them. (They are in the drying stages before moving on..)
I stamped the butterflies as the full square & then punched out 1in circles from each square leaving the frames. I sponged the two pieces (6 in total) seperately, but they could be all done before the punching. I mounted the waste as mini frames to repeat the circle feel on the card & mounted two butterflys on sticky pads in the main circle. I sponged a square in the inside of the card & mounted the third butterfly & added another scroll up the top. I have found sponging designs from my mini ink cubes is a far more subtle way of colouring vintage type projects.
Happy Birthday Ladies & I hope you adore this card half as much as I do!!
