This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is Don’t abandon the coral! Abandoned Coral is the second new distress color of 2015, and the inspiration for this challenge. Use any coral paper, ink, paint, or other product.
After I applied the embossing paste to the background the rest was a simple sprinkle of gold spray and added he word love to the background.
I took the frame that I used to paste the butterfly and continued with the stenciled background to complete the frame. After it dried a coat of white paint was applied. I let it dry and sprayed the background with the coral spray.
I sprayed another piece of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment and flourishes around the edges to put underneath the die cut opening.

Absolutely fabulous and such wonderful techniques! I have shied away from the Abandoned Coral so far as I am not really a pink sort of person, but am getting very tempted now, this is just so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous stuff here, Suzz, and I really like how you always show different ways to use the same theme. You not only have quality in your work, but it's cool to see the variety in your quantity, too! Well done and I liked how you made the flower look like the butterfly's body!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the black outline effect in the last example. There's a great deal of technique here with many possibilities and I appreciate the info as I would like to try this.
