I recently went to a local craft fair. I was very restrained in my buying and chose this set I knew I could use in several different ways plus the die. It's a new to me brand called Rainbow Designs. All the stamps here are from that set apart from the butterfly and the squiggle which are Inky Doodles.
Mrs A's Butterfly challenge, with the Letter G, gave the perfect opportunity to use them. I've already made a paper pieced flower card which looked pretty good. ( In my opinion 😊).
I was inspired to use all the options though that is not necessary to join in the challenge.
Incredibly I forgot to stamp the butterfly. It was supposed to go around the edge with the flowers so I added it afterwards but it does gives some extra dimension.
So I embossed in GOLD, coloured in GRAPE and GREEN (Brushos) added some GLOSSY ACCENTS with GLITTER and finally a few GEMS and the Butterfly, of course.
I sprinkled the glitter onto the Glossy Accents while it was still wet and then it dries into it.
FYI Biodegradable glitter is now available!
I hope you like it. I think anything looks good embossed in gold and I love to paint inside embossing as its so easy!
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
