Hi , this week I have had a few cards to make , so I’m sharing with you my step by step process for this floral one.
I decided on a 6 x6 inch white card base and choose the ledger page style catalyst cards from pack #4 , for my background ,
My first step was to cut the catalyst card to size , leaving room to add an extra mounting layer if I wanted to later . I then inked all around the edge with distress ink Villainous Potion and added a coffee stain using distress ink Vintage Photo and one of the stamps from the Arts stamps Coffee stains set .
Thinking my background needed a little more I used the same purple ink and a paint brush to add a few splatters.
Next I used the Doodle Art Butterfly stamp set , to create my focal images , using the flower from this set rather than the butterfly , that gives its name.
I stamped two of the flowers on to one of the catalyst cards from set #3 and cut out these along with some of the small hearts also featured on this design .
My next step was to mount up the background on to my card blank , adding a matting layer of Kraft card which I have a darker edge using the Vintage Photo distress ink.
At this stage I also added a stitched border with a black fine liner pen .
The last step for this card was to add a sentiment , this was stamped on to a piece of the same ledger catalyst card and mounted on kraft card .
Finally feeling my card need something to give it a little lift and lightening , I added some white paint splashes .
Here is my finished card , thank you for stopping by and taking a look .
Happy crafting
Calee .
