I made this card several days ago, then realized I was out of the stamp set I used. Fortunately, I received my order from Impression Obsession tonight! So that stamp set is back in stock, as well as some new ones. Be sure to go to the store to see them.
The stamp set I used is a cling mount set called Charming Gardeners . You may recall another card I made recently using this set. You can see it HERE .
I stamped the main image on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow (water based) markers and a damp paint brush.
My goal was to *stamp simply* and let the designer paper and stamp do the work for me. That gorgeous designer paper is from the Basic Grey Sultry paper pad. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. I covered them with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter by Art Institute Glitter, then added Soft Pink Rhinestones to the body.
The sentiment on the inside is included in the stamp set. It's such a beautiful sentiment, perfect for so many occasions. I added two more glittered butterflies, but didn't use the rhinestones in attempt to keep it from being too bulky in mailing.
The cardstock is Intense Kiwi Prismatics and Intense Pink Prismatics .
So, that's it for me tonight. Thanks so very much for stopping by. I have another card ready for you, so I will be back soon.
Happy Holidays
