This week at
Less is More the theme is butterflies. I wanted to try and keep it really simple so I decided to stamp just one butterfly with this Chocolate Baroque designed Craft Stamper freebie. I started with some very pale pink pearlised card and embossed and a border along the bottom with a cuttle bug folder. I tried out several different inks for the butterfly and ended up using a very old pinky purple cube pad and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I fixed a strip of matching ribbon above the border and stamped the Crafty Individuals phrase ( one of my favourites ) above that. I added a few little gem stones to the bottom left corner to balance it all. I'm sorry the photo doesn't look too good, I think the the light was failing a bit when I took it. Thankyou all for looking anyway.
Cool card and I love that C.S. freebie - haven't had time to use mine ...... yet

A very pretty card Jean. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, the detail shows just fine. I haven't managed to use my butterfly yet either. Kate x

ReplyDeletePretty card Jeane
ReplyDeletethe embossing looks lovely, glad you didn't colour it. All Id have changed was sticking the ribbon, personally think it always looks better tied, with or without a bow. I never think the edges look neat enough, when they're not wrapped over the edge
i definitely wouldn't say it looks like you struggled
thank you

Jeane, I love the soft colors you've chosen. The embossing looks great too. If you're interested, I've posted a tutorial on my blog explaining how I take my photos of my cards. I take all photos inside my craft room and mostly at night.
