Optical Illusion


Something really different for me today.  I had a go with some distress inks, some stencils and some stamps, all of which had been waiting patiently for me to play with them again.



This is just a one layer card.  I first laid a negative die cutout over the card, and then the lattice stencil.  After taping each layer down to assure no movement, I then sponged the two colours of DI through the stencil.  Then I stamped the butterfly over the stencil.  Really pleased with the result, I felt it just needed a bit of black stamping to set it off.

Supplies used:
Diamonds stencil - from Clear Scraps
Creatopia Frame 2 die - from Spellbinders
Holly Branches stamp - from Sweet Stamps
Large Butterfly stamp - from Victorine Stamps

Hope you enjoyed your visit.  If you should give this a try....it is lots of fun!
