All you need to create a unique piece of paper is a solid color, some patterned stamps and some ink...simple as that my friends. Use one patterned stamp for "all over" coverage or combine them. Stamp them side by side, over lap and layer. Have fun with it!
Supplies:
Basic Grey Bling It Individual Rhinestone Squares, Nutmeg/Curry
You can use a scrap paper for a mask, just make sure that the scrap paper is larger than your base
Ink the stamp and press it, face down onto your base paper
and now you have only a portion stamped onto your base paper
Repeat this step...cover the wood grain pattern that you just stamped with a scrap paper, mask off the area to be stamped and press the French Script pattern onto the base paper.
I stamp face down, and place a larger paper on top so that it's easier to rub the stamp for even coverage.
And this is what it will look like once you have masked and stamped all 4 panels.
Stamp the sentiment onto scrap paper...the same size as the ornate frame
gently ink the edges so that it's not so "clean" looking.
Ink the edges of the base paper with a foam pad. Machine stitch around the edge. You can stitch before or after inking the edges...if after, add ink to the stitches to dull the brightness of the white (or simply use a more natural thread color)
gather your accent supplies..butterfly punch, some colored paper, a patterned stamp and ink
stamp the colored paper first and then punch the butterflies by placing the image face up so that you can see where you are punching.
Ink the edges and add bling to the center of each butterfly
I hope you have enjoyed this vintage-chic looking card. Ellen carries SO many different patterned stamps and the CHF Backgrounders are great for covering an entire card front! I am so glad that you stopped by :)
