Butterfly Sunset

I used the brayer technique on this card. I first stamped the field flowers and butterfly in black stazon; then stamped the shading part of field flowers in so saffron. I colored the butterfly with markers. Then I used a versamarker to cover the images and embossed them with clear embossing powder. I brayered daffodil delight in bottom left corner at an angle. After masking off the sun with a post it, I brayered from the top right hand corner at an angle: so saffron; then moving up a little and not quite covering all of the so saffron  added calypso coral; then not covering all of the calypso coral added melon mambo; sponged in so saffron on the sun.

  • cardstock - melon mambo, black, whisper white

Happy Thoughts of You


This is my first attempt at the baby wipe technique. I took 4 reinkers and dropped a few of each color in a row on a baby wipe and wiped it directly on Whisper White cardstock. As I continued down, some of the colors overlapped. Then I stamped the flower directly over the top. Card is matted in early espresso.

SUPPLIES (all SU unless otherwise noted):
  • Cardstock: early espresso, whisper white, melon mambo
  • Ink: elegant eggplant, calypso coral
  • Reinkers: calypso coral, melon mambo, wisteria wonder, pool party
  • Stamps: Field Flowers
  • Punches: dotted scallop ribbon border, decorative label, martha stewart edge punch
  • Misc: ribbon, pink rhinestones (not SU)
