Yay! Jenni Zmuda here, and I'm so excited to be able to be May's guest designer for The Rubber Cafe! They have such great products and stamps. I want them
all!
For my first project today I chose the Lace Butterfly Stamp and the Nature Word Stamp, stamped on misted sprayed backgrounds to create a gorgeous single layer card!
So lets get to it...
To make this card:
1. For this card I used paint that I watered down and put into mini misters. (In the end I didn't use the blue mist.)
2. I sprayed the shiny side of a piece of wax paper with the mini misters.
3. I
placed a piece of water color paper down onto the sprayed wax paper. Lifting it
and placing it back down until I was happy with the results.
(*Note: regular cardstock will work just fine for this technique as well)
4. I used the Nature Word Stamp for the next step.
Note: To mask an area for the Butterfly - I used the butterfly stamp and placed it face down onto a plastic stencil sheet, scrap paper would work fine too, traced around it, and cut it out. So you now have a cut out of the shape of your stamp.
6. Last I removed my butterfly mask - and finished by stamping my butterfly image in the remaining open area.
There you have it! I cute spring card that didn't take long at all! You can finish this single layer card any way you choose, I backed mine with a layer of cardstock before placing onto my card front. Finishing it off with some ribbon and a pearl accent
Here's a close-up view.
Supplies:
Stamps: The Rubber Cafe' -Lace Butterfly Stamp; Nature Word Stamp.
Ink: Acrylic Paint mixed with water for misters; Ranger Distress Ink-Rusty Hinge
Paper: Watercolor paper
Embellishments: misc ribbon
Tools: Ranger -Mister Misters
I made my next card once again, featuring the Lace Butterfly stamp again, as well as The Rubber Cafe's- You're So Fine Glitter -in Limeaid. This glitter is some major glitter! So shiny and fine and, well, glittery! I also used The Rubber Cafe's, Scrap Happy Glue. This is amazing glue, perfect for applying glitter. Once it dries what ever you stick down is not going anywhere!
All I did for this was measure and cut out a frame to go around the Lace Butterfly Stamp. I painted glue onto the frame so I was sure not to miss any spots on the paper. Next I poured the glitter onto it and shook it off. I waited for it to completely dry before sticking it down to finish my card.
Here's a close-up view of the glitter frame
And that's it! Easy peasy!
