CPS Challenge 111

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are having a wonderful Friday.  Don't forget to scroll down and enter the blog candy giveaway. Today I'm going to share with you a card I made for this weeks CPS challenge. I also did the Color Challenge over at Stamp TV with this as well (orange and yellow with red option).  For this card I did a few really cool techniques.

The first being the Emboss resist of those butterflies. I think I'm on a butterfly kick, so bare with me lol.

The card stock for the butterfly image is White PTI. I embossed the images with clear Embossing powder, then went on to make the background paper. Using the Desert Heat Kaleidacolor ink pad I sponged the different colors minus the red all over the image and surrounding card stock. Then I used a background stamp (stamping off once) with Versafine Onyx black ink in a very random pattern. The image was covered in ink, so I rubbed over the image with a paper towel and MAGIC happened. Try this technique, and you will love it. There is a great video tutorial over at Stamp TV.

Then there is this little grungeboard flower that I absolutely love. The grunge is from Tim Holtz Nature series. Firstly I painted the entire flower with Pumpkin Shimmerz and let that dry after 2 coats. Then I used a Unity Stamp from my March KOTM (topiary) to give a design on the flower. Taking an orange and yellow marker, I dabbed randomly over the entire image and sealed it with Glossy Accents and added a wee dot of Black Diamond Stickles to the center. After she dried I was pleasantly WOWED!!!


 I so hope you enjoyed your stop today here at Ink Cut and Fold. Always a pleasure to have you and thanks for the amazing support.
