Christmas Card Throwdown

Christmas Card Throwdown

Monday 10 August 2015

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone, here is a card I am entering into the August Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique, http://scrapbookboutiquenews.blogspot.com.au , I haven't entered any thing in these challenges before, but am now diving in!!!   this card is on a black cardstock base, and was stamped with a stamp I made, with Debbie Henderson's video tutorial, Debbie's Designs, and it worked very well, I used my Cheery Lynne die - Steampunk Butterfly - with foam that I bought at Lyncraft at Victoria Point, south of Brisbane, when I was visiting my daughter last Christmas.  For the background I used a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers - Lee Anne Cross - Stencil Monoprints - they also have a video tutorial, I am very pleased with the way this turned out as it is my first time using this technique.   I used two shades of red, Memento Ink Pad - Lady Bug, and Distress Inks - Barn Door.   For the Butterflies I used Memento Ink Pad - Burmuda Blue. I used Liquid Perfect Pears for the dots in the butterfly feelers and Stick on Blue Rhinestones for the other little embellishments, and the Happy Birthday stamp came from ab old stamp set that I have had for ages and lost the packaging, so can't say who the manufacturer was. I shaded around the edges with Burmuda Blue   Hope you like this card and many thanks for visiting, Jasann
