So Suzy Fancy Butterfly

Hi Everyone,

we at So Suzy Stamps are having a big inspiration post today - all the DT girls made cards - you get a glimpse of them on the collage picture:



I thought, this gorgeous butterfly needs some ink - I have only used it once before and it is much too pretty to sit around and collect dust..... I also really like the sentiment - the pretty font and what it says - just great for many occasions!


My stamp supplies:



I started out stamping the butterfly with Versafine ink onto Bristol paper - this ink stamps detail really well and it is my go  to ink for most things.


I generously added water color in yellow and greens


More color and made it drip down


then I thought its too much color and I took some off with a roll of paper towels


Added some more color to the butterflies only


until I was happy with the result. Added some splatters.


Stamped the sentiment onto black card stock and cut a strip of PP.


Added generous amount of Wink of Stella.


Glued it all together - the sentiment is mounted with foam tape. I added two large sequins. they look more green in real live, not blue like in the picture.



Happy Stamping!

You're right, that butterfly deserved ink and color...and you did it perfectly. Love it with the drippy effect and the color you achieved is stunning.

Das liest sich nach viel Arbeit für eine tolle Karte.
ich frage mich, wie du das mit den Spritzern immer so gut hinbekommst. Bei mir gibt es dicke klumpen oder nichts. :-(((
Ich bewundere deine vielfältigen Ideen und die hervorragenden Ausführungen.
Genieß das Wochenende.

You did an awesome job.
Wow! This looks awesome.
Thanks for sharing how it was made. I'm not great at inky stuff,
but I might have to give this ago.

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers
