Hello lovely crafters. Hope all is well with you.
Today's card features stamping, embossing, stencilling and die cutting! I think using layering stencils is on a par with the magic of heat embossing - just as you see a heat embossed image transform magically before your eyes, the tentative lifting of the final stencil to reveal the complete image is always a wow moment for me.
I'm sure I saw some butterflies in the garden this week enjoying this glorious weather and this inspired me to use this image. I love this Botanicals and Butterflies stamp, stencil and die bundle from Pinkfresh Studios. After heat embossing with Cosmic Shimmer sparkling silver, I used Distress Oxides in one of my favourite colour combos (pink and turquoise) to colour through the stencils. The die cut image was attached to a Memory Box cover plate. The beautiful lacey frame is from Spellbinders. I continued the heat embossing with some lovely sentiments.
I was lucky enough to recently win these sentiment stamp sets in a giveaway by the designer herself, the lovely Jessica from Paper Ink Stamp. They are her first product release after winning Card Maker of the Year last year.
