Good morning! It's Tuesday and you know what that means!? It's time for an Inspiration post over at STAMPlorations! As usual, the DT has made some amazing projects to inspire you. I've got some talented Teamies for sure! This is what I came up with this week....
So how did I make my plaid butterflies? Well, let me tell you! :-) First, I stamped my sentiment. The happy (Sentiment Builders: Happy set) was stamped in Spiced Marmalade Distress ink and the birthday (Party Time set) in black Versafine ink. Then I stamped my butterflies (Winged Things set) in black. I created some masks that showed only the butterflies like this....
I used the butterfly masks themselves later. Once the surrounding area was protected I stamped my distressed line stamp (Mixed Media Elements set) in Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, and Seedless Preserves Distress ink in a plaid pattern. I repeated this for each butterfly. Then I used the butterfly masks to protect them from the black splatters I added. Lastly, I added some rhinestones for a little sparkle. I just love my plaid butterflies. I think I need to try this plaid technique on something else too. It's too much fun!
Well, I hope my card inspired you to create today. Make sure to pop by the main blog for more inspiration by the rest of the DT too. Have an awesome day!
I'd like to link up to the following challenges:
