Less is More #473

 Hello there,

We have a fabulous new challenge for you this fortnight at Less is More

 

After much thought and deliberation (my mojo went on strike) I had a sudden light bulb moment and came up with this card,

I used a stencil and some transluscent embossing paste on a card blank.

After removing the stencil I sprinkled some white glitter all over then left it to dry.

 

I cut the butterflies from a snippet of black & white dotty card. The body of the larger butterfly is cut from white glitter card.

 

One the embossing paste had dried I added my sentiment and adhered my butterflies.

I'm pleased with this one. I love the affect of the glitter on the embossing and it was so easy to do.

CAS Stencil challenge, March.

Hi there,

Since I'm in a CAS sort of mood lately I thought I'd join in with this months challenge at CAS Stencil

Also my blog friend Viv has joined the design team so it would be rude not too.

I've used texture paste on my card.

I always make my own texture paste. Mainly because it so easy but also because it's quite expensive to buy. As my grandma always used to say " I'm not greedy, I'm just careful" I've obviously inherited her thriftyness.

The stencil is a cheap one from Amazon and I wasn't sure if it would take the paste but it's worked beautifully, I'm really pleased with it.

After applying the paste and removing the stencil I poured silver embossing powder over it making sure I got all angles. Tapped it off and left it to dry.

Once dry I simply heat embossed and Voila!

The sentiment is by Wplus9 stamped in clear EI and embossed with silver EP.

Thanks for popping in X
