Green Piece
By CT Ann
This is one of my favourite techniques to create a simple background, it’s quick & you can add a stamp & a sentiment, job done. You can keep adding details too, I do like details 😆
Stamps: Butterfly Stitch, Mixed Messages 1
Birds & Butterflies XL, Mirror Blocks
Dies: Birds & Butterflies XL
Distress Oxide : Rustic Wilderness
Versafine Clair: Charming Pink & Rain Forest
Versamark
White Embossing Ink
Ecoline Pen: Magenta (337)
Pigma Micron : 05 Dark Green
Water Spritzer & Heat Gun
First I placed the largest rectangular Mirror Block onto a slim acrylic block. Then cut a piece of smooth card 4.5”x 6.5” …
Next I wiped plenty of Rustic Wilderness ink over the Mirror Block, spritzed with water & placed it centrally onto the card. Let it sit to give the ink a little time to sink into the card…
When the ink was dry, I rubbed an anti static bag over the Rustic Wilderness & inked up the Butterfly Stitch with Versamark ink. Once stamped onto the rectangle, I sprinkled over the image with fine, white embossing powder, shaking off the excess, heating it until melted …
When cool I put a bit of Rustic Wilderness onto my blending mat, added a little water & painted around the over-hanging bits of white embossing. Adding extra depth in places helps to emphasise the whole stamp…
On a separate piece of paper I stamped the largest butterfly in a dark green ink, die cut it out & then coloured it using a combination of Scribble Sticks & Ecoline Pens…
I stamped the Butterfly Stitch on another piece of paper, this time in dark green ink, then cut & punched elements out & coloured some pieces with a Magenta Ecoline…
On a thin strip of card I stamped a sentiment from Mixed Messages 1, in Versafine Charming Pink & glued to a slightly larger piece of dark green paper…
I glued the elements onto the embossed image, mat this onto dark green card & adhered to a 5” x 7” card…
Finally I added a border using a Micron in dark green…
