So Suzy Alcohol Ink butterflies

Hi Everyone,

this gorgeous butterfly is from the new So Suzy Stamps release. I was planning on turning it into a Monarch, but it did not quite work out that way.

My stamp supplies:

Monarch Butterfly, Simple Birthday

I made myself a mask and stamped on Yupo paper.

I heat embossed the butterflies with clear embossing powder.

Started to dolor them in with alcohol inks

Kept adding more, but some of the green moved outside the outlines. So I added more green on the outside, but in the end did not like it.

So I took a mini mister that I had filled with rubbing alcohol and spritzed it. I held the paper upright, so the diluted ink started to run toward the bottom.

Kind of cool, I thought.

Wanted a bit more color, so I added pink splatters.

I heat embossed the sentiment onto some wood paper in white. Added it to the card with foam tape.

One tip: Be careful, when heat embossing Yupo - it is not paper, it is plastic and warps fairly quickly.

And looks what's coming up:

Happy Stamping!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping. This event is going on for the ENTIRE MONTH! We are demonstrating the Mirror Image Stamp which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the Mirror Image Stamp . In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the Mirror Image Stamp on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The mirror image stamp is a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
