Stacked Blue Ombré Butterfly Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My third post today. If you missed previous two, just scroll down or follow direct links here and here.


I want to share with you this Stacked Blue Ombré Butterfly Card I made. :o)


My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card I made last year (find it here; to make the original card, I was inspired by JJ Bolton's AMAZING card). Everything is the same except color scheme. On my today's card I wanted to create an Ombré Effect with butterfly die cuts. I like it very much, I'll surely make more cards like this with different colors. :o)


How I made my card...

I die cut 9 butterflies out of 4 different blue tones of cardstock paper (2 from each color) and one in white cardstock paper. I used only outline die cuts and rest I left for my future projects.

I stacked butterflies following Ombré pattern and glued them together (I glued only middle parts and left wings unglued).


Then I stamped a sentiment on a white cardsock paper panel and glued the panel on a white side folded card base.

Lastly, I glued the Stacked Blue Ombré Butterfly on the card and my card was finished. Super fun technique!! :o)


Card measurements: 134 mm x 95 mm (5 1/4" x 3 3/4")

Peeking Panda Card (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

http://kittybeedesigns.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this CAS (clean and simple), Peeking Panda Card. :o)


For my card I used a SUPER CUTE Kitty Bee Designs 'Peek A Boo Panda' digital image. Isn't he ADORABLE!!! :o)


How I made my card....

I printed the panda on a watercolor paper and left him dry over the night.

Next day, I colored the panda. I stamped tiny circles around panda's eyes and colored his eyes with black fine liners. I colored the panda in watercolor technique using Distress Ink Hickory Smoke, just to add a bit of a shade. After drying, I fussy cut the panda and traced edges with black marker. Then I drew highlights with white pigment ink.

Next up was a card base. I used a striped panel I made a while ago and left it for future projects. To make the panel I was inspired with amazing Jennifer's McGuire Masked Stripe Inlay technique. What an awesome technique and a great way to use paper scraps. I love the result!! :o)

To make striped panel, I used 4 various blue colored cardstock paper scraps, cut them to various size stripes and glued them as shown and described on Jennifer's blog. Check her blog post and video for more details and how to make striped panel. :o)

Lastly, I glued the striped panel on a white top folded card base, glued the panda on top of the striped panel and my card was finished. :o)


Card measurements: 92 mm x 127 m(3 5/8" x 5")

List of supplies:
  • Kitty Bee Designs 'Peek A Boo Panda' digital image
  • Create a Smile 'Eggstraordinary Egghunt' stamp set (tiny circle; the set is discontinued)
  • white cardstock paper
  • premade striped panel
