Sharing a CAS card
featuring the lovely Butterfly Gown stencil from Funky Fossil Designs.
I decided to go
with a stencil rather than stamp as my main feature on this card so I could
play along at Mod Squad. I used Distress
Inks and the smallest of the Life Changing Blender Brushes so I could ink the
stencil in different colours. I wasn’t
game to outline the butterflies completely so limited myself just to adding in
their bodies with some Enamel Accents.
My colour choice
is inspired by the cookies at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie. The cookie inspiration was also why I added
the green accents in Enamel Accents, to give a bit of height and texture to
imitate icing, and why I chose the Ornate Trims and embossed them for my two
accent lines.
I’ve got those
accent lines as part of my layout thanks to the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches
I’ve followed. My image was too big for
the rectangular element so I used mats to create it topping the three coloured ones
with a dry embossed white panel. I then
fussy cut my stencil girl and placed her over the top.
This card is actually
going out to a friend for her birthday but I thought adding a sentiment would
ruin the simplicity and elegance of the design.
I also couldn’t see any need for any embellies deciding to keep this
uber CAS to let that gorgeous stencil shine.
