I had a lovely time with my crafty friends last night. After the usual tea and homemade cake we set to work! We were all playing with these Papermania Urban stamps and here's what I came up with. I've used the butterfly set this time and a sentiment stamp from Papermania's Portobello Road range.
All the stamping has been done in Dusty Concorde Distress Ink and I've used a mixture of Create and Craft pearl card, Papermania plain Capsule Collection card and Tim Holtz Core'dinations.
The embossing folder is Divine Swirls by Cuttlebug and is probably my most used folder.
Once again, I got busy with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and I inked the scuffed edges with more Dusty Concorde.
I really enjoyed piling on the glitter on this card! I've used Stickles in Diamond and Aqua and Distress Stickles in Milled Lavender. I even stuck some tiny gems into the Distress Stickles for good measure! I also highlighted the main image with some Anita's 3D Gloss.
A paper raffia bow embellished with a Papermania brad, some glass nuggets and butterfly trails done with weeny gems are the final touches.
Is it just me or does Distress Stickles sound like some male affliction of the groin area. Say it out loud running the words together and you'll see what I mean!
I am entering this card in the following challenges -
Mojo Monday - #229 - sketch
Make it Monday - #77 - anything goes
Merry Christmas to You All!
