Hello, hello and happy April Fools! J/K, no joking here. Today the Stamping Society are sharing fun projects using Blending Brushes and I love the card I am going to share with you today.
What is Stamping Society? We are group of international stampers who showcase an idea monthly through a blog hop and then offer more exclusive ideas through a tutorial. The tutorial showcases 6 exclusive ideas along with instructions and a video. Details on how to get the tutorial at the end of this post.
Like I mentioned, this month we are featuring Blending Brushes. Have you played with them much? These projects will inspire you to play, I’m certain.
FLOATING & FLUTTERING - CONGRATS CARD:
First, I am completely taken with the Floating & Fluttering stamp and die bundle. While there are many options for butterflies right now I am in love the with size, look and versatility of this bundle. I’ve paired this bundle with the Many Mates greeting stamp set.
Let’s chat about this card. This card has texture, layers and so much more. The background is the WOW and ends up becoming the primary image. The vellum stamped butterflies accent and showcase the background even more.
Recreate this card with me. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 8.5” x 5.5”. Score and fold in half to create card base. Use the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder and emboss the front side of the card base.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 5.5”x 4.25”. Gather Blending Brushes, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee classic ink. Apply ink to brushes and blend into the Basic White cardstock using a circular motion until you achieve the desired effect. Add water splatters with paint brush to the blended background. Cut in half and choose which half you like best for this card.
Using a Stamp-a-Ratus stamp two greetings from Many Mates in Black ink onto the background. Use a black pen to draw a line between the verses if desired. See card example for placement suggestion.
Stamp butterfly cluster from the Floating and Fluttering stamp set in Versamark onto vellum. Heat set with white embossing powder. Cut out using the dies from the bundle.
Arrange white butterflies onto the background piece framing the stamped greeting. Trip off excess butterflies.
Mount background piece to a 2-7/8” x 4.45” piece of Magenta Madness cardstock.
Cut a piece of the B&W stripes True Love Designer Series Papers to 3.5” x 4.25”. Mount Magenta /Background piece to the DSP. Then mount to the card base. Center left and right, top and bottom and adhere using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add three Opal Rounds to card front in open areas.
Tie a small bow with White Bakers Twine. Adhere to card front.
