I know I had promised another Holiday Mini sneak peek but yesterday got away from me. My day became consumed with last minute cutting for my Basic & Beautiful class yesterday evening.
This card is one that I made a month or so ago but every time I look at it I fall a little more in love! Everything about it turned out just the way I hoped. This very rarely happens! The sentiment is from the retired set With Sympathy...so sad that one didn't carry over. :(
Tips & Techniques:
- After colouring on your stamp with your Stampin' Write markers, spritz a little water directly onto it before stamping to give it a slight watercolour effect.
- Curling the wings of the larger butterflies makes them look like they are about to take flight off the card!
- Scrunchy ribbon across the bottom of the card provides the perfect base for a vintage safety pin and a little linen thread which creates a softness.
- Does tearing freak you out? Let it go! The torn edge here adds so much texture.
