Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I finally own this wonderful lacy butterfly from So Suzy - it was on my wishlist from the very beginning, but patience pays off... Of course I HAD to use it! My stamps supplies: iStencil ,  Fancy Butterfly , Love and Happiness And that is how I started: Heat embossed the butterfly with WOW embossing powder onto acetate and colored the back with alcohol inks. Fussy cut it and added the sentiment to the bottom of my card. Selected the stencil - its on of those beautiful iStencils , some of which you can also get at So Suzy's . Sponged distress inks onto the stencil using the same colors as for the butterfly. Propped up the butterfly with thick foam tape Added Nuvo drops  - this is the clear one, called Morning Dew. I just love how this turned out! Having the light shine through those lacy wings and reflect onto the card stock is magical! I hope you like it as much as I do! ...

I have not played in the Runway Inspired challenge for a while - too many challenges out there. but today I got an inspiration from Eileen - many of you probably know her. She has an amazing blog. When I saw her blog entry today I thought to CASE her idea and use it for the RIC - and thank fully there were still a couple of hours left to make this card: I used alcohol inks on acetate. The die cut is from Simon Says and the sentiment is from Impression Obsession. The butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart punch. It was a little tricky to make the butterflies. The acetate I used for the card was too thick and the punch did not work I used thin acetate for my next try, but it punched it badly. Finally I used thin acetate and a layer of paper on top and that did the trick. On the card the colored acetate side is facing the white card stock, so the surface is clean and shiny. The white frame I just cut out of card stock with my paper trimmer. I am also linking this...
