Hello my bloggy friends! Today I made a card using my new Silhouette machine. I'm still learning and playing around with it. For my super simple card today I welded butterflies into rectangle using the Silhouette Studio Software. I wanted the negative of the butterflies to use as a background panel. I have lots of pretty butterflies for use on other things now. :) I cut it out with white cardstock so I could ink it up however I wanted. I inked the panel with worn lipstick distress ink using THIS tool.
I used a paintbrush to flick perfect pearls and water onto the butterfly panel. I white heat embossed the Friend Definition background stamp from Hero Arts and inked it up with spun sugar distress ink. To finish, I mounted the butterfly panel with pop dots over top for dimension and shadow. I know this is REALLY simple, but I liked it so much I just couldn't cover it up!

ReplyDeleteLove the look. Was it just me or did others see the illusion? I thought this was a card made using the butterflies that we cut out. . .not the negative image. way cool! Great idea. TFS
ReplyDeleteOK, darn iPad! "We" didn't cut the butterflies out. Sorry about trying to take some of the credit! LOL
