Just a Note - HI

Hi there everyone.  I hope all is well and life is treating you kindly.  Although we are now definitely into winter, on the positive side....at least the days are getting longer!!!

As the wind is howling outside, it's nice to hibernate inside where I can stay warm.  This can often prod me into trying some different techniques for a change. 


Here you will see some stenciling, rubber stamping, and both dry and heat embossing.

First, the card front.  I die cut a window on the left, and then dry embossed the line pattern; added some distress ink, then traced a line border around the window.

Next the stenciled flowers.  I used complementary colours of distress ink and placed the finished pattern behind the window.

Next, a corner die cut.  Then the butterfly is stamped and heat embossed with gold, again coloured with DI's, and finally fussy cut and attached with foam dots.

Almost done.  Just a sentiment and some sparkles and glitter to finish it off.  Makes for a card that could be sent to anyone when you just want to say Hi.

Butterfly stamp - from Stämpelkällan
