I used Stazon ink on acetate and coloured the back with the Glaze pens. You have to do a section at a time or it will dry and the glitter won't stick. You use coloured Glaze pens and white glitter. I attached the acetate to the Prima Zephyr paper with one glue dot behind the butterfly's body where there is no glitter and it won't show. The eyelets also attach it to the paper at the bottom.
The sentiment is on a Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motifs piece that I cut out twice. The white piece I cut in half lenghtwise and glued it to the back of the blue piece, so it shadowed the blue piece.
The sentiment is a Flourishes stamp, the butterfly is from Hampton and I don't know what the flourish is.
I wish shiny cards were easier to photograph!

Hi Shona. I completely understand your feeling about the postage! I use almost every card I make and pay extra postage almost every time. Your card is awesome! I want to try that technique. I may have to enter that butterfly challenge :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Thanks for joining us at Loves Rubber Stamps.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunner! Great idea designing a card that can actually be mailed.

Fabulous sparkle. Thanks for playing with Loves Rubberstamps!
ReplyDeleteHi Shona, I love your butterfly, great technique! You are right about postage, the ladies at our local depot take extra time measuring my envelopes and seem to enjoy charging me very high rates. Hope your week is going well, Shirleyx
