Butterflies Three

Posted by on June 17, 2012 in Challenges, Hero Arts | 19 comments

Popping in quickly with another card for the current Hero Arts challenge which has a ‘Thinking of You’ theme. I inked up my new Hero Arts Leaf and Floral background in Versamark and clear embossed. I then used several blue Distress Inks over that…they resisted the embossed areas. I used a MFT butterfly die. Easy! Oh and the dry embossed border was done on my scoreboard.

Supplies

Stamps: Hero Arts Leaf and Floral Background (CG405), Hero Arts Classic Messages (CL414)

Ink: Versamark watermark ink, Distress markers – Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Broken China

Card: AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white pre-cut cards

Other Supplies: Blending tool, Hero Arts embossing powder, Heat tool, Basic Grey – buttons, AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm twine – natural, Martha Stewart scoreboard, MFT – Die-Namics butterflies, Cuttlebug, Zots glue dots

Thanks for stopping by,

Marion

  5. Like all things Butterfly. Especially like the wonderful score board done embossed background. Did you know that your comment area is a light blue with small text and difficult to see as typing to make comments?
