Day 2 STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday

Day 2 STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebration!

Be sure and check out all the Creative and Inspiring Projects by our
very talented Stamp Girls using New and Old Products!



STAMPlorations Old "It's a Girl Thing: Kindness".

I began by cutting a 4" x 9" card front out of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Surface.

Next placed ARTplorations "Fanned Slimline Stencil" over card front and secured with 3M masking tape.
  Then used make up brush to blend Distress Oxide Inks: Squeezed
Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet.  

When done I used Peacock Feathers over entire stencil to blend all the colors.
You just have to make sure all your color choices blend without
 turning into muddy colors!
Next removed stencil and loved the result.

Tip: If you cut your card front 4" x 9",  which is the same size as all 
of the Slimline Stencils, then you will get a nice frame.
  Your finished card fits nicely in a business size envelope and no
extra postage.

Next placed card front in MISTI and stamped three of the
 "It's a Girl Thing: Kindness" sentiments using Archival Jet Black ink.

Then stamped the butterfly twice from the same stamp set 
using black ink onto the Bristol paper and fussy cut both butterflies.

I watercolored one butterfly with the same Distress Oxide Inks 
used in the stenciled background.
Next attached butterfly to 2nd butterfly using Connect Glue.  

Popped up butterfly with Mini Glue Dots.
Hand drew the antlers and attached card front to 100# card base and Done!
I was very pleased with the results. Hope you like my Slimline card too.

We would love to have you join our 7th Birthday Celebration.
