Today the
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge design team is sharing thank you inspired projects. This year we have quite a few parties, graduations and other things to be thankful for and I decided to use a few art staples and create a series of thank you cards.
This was an inky morning and I thoroughly enjoyed mixing up the colors and ended up with dyed hands in a rainbow of colors.
I started with a series of butterflies stamped with Versamark on white cardstock and heat embossed using clear embossing powder.
After that I was just dripping, spraying, misting and flicking sprays and paint to create different effects.
I decided to cut out the wings on this card to give a shadow effect.
This received a flicking of white acrylic paint at the end.
This was flicked first with water and then white acrylic paint. I also sponged dye ink around some of the butterflies in contrasting colors on some of the other cards to make the butterflies pop.

Stunning cards all of them, such wonderful colours too! Love the shadow effect on the little ones, they almost seem to have a ceramic effect with the embossing, - very clever!!

ReplyDeleteYou are the QUEEN of making cards look totally unique and different while still sticking to a universal theme. I always love to see the various ways you've kept the cards similar, but wildly individual! Love these and the colors are so juicy-delicious!
ReplyDeleteFabulous set of cards and wonderful stamping! The backgrounds are just gorgeous and I adore the card where you've cut around the butterflies to create a shadow ~ just wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! I love that you just played with these and created fabulous (mail-friendly) thank yous! Thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteI can see you were having fun with the mists!! Gorgeous colours and a great way to make many cards quickly.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I must admit that I am in awe. Every time I attempt to use mists and sprays, I fail miserably. Seriously. I do. So to me, these are like MAGIC!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzz, I used your concept to make congratulation cards for my grand daughter's promotion to 11th grade and a friend's daughter who is expecting a baby. Just love Tim's butterfly. And creating the backgrounds was a lot of fun. thanks as always for sharing.
