Hello Friends!!
Today is an Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop.
This year we are Caseing each other every month and today I am Caseing my amazingly talented friend Mikaela at the Crafty Oink. Now it has been pointed out that Mikaela often finds creative ways to use Stampin’ Up! Products.
She is super creative!!
Well this pushed me to really look at the stamps and figure out something to make…
I took a frequently used ‘sketch’ that I have noticed Mikaela uses, here are a few examples.
Notice the larger border around the first layer
Notice the blending in the cards…one of my favourite techniques!! And Mikaela is one of the best blending brush artists!!!
And notice the central focal point. This is a Great Standard Layout everyone should have in their library!
These are all Mikaela Trademarks!!
Ok so my card. I used the Beautiful Butterfly Stamp set.
See the 2 stamps I crudely highlighted in blue?
I stamped several of these with Strawberry Slush.
Then I fussy cut the pieces.
I also stamped them in Granny Apple Green and cut out sections that looked like leaves.
The Cardbase is Strawberry Slush 8.5 x 5.5”, scored at 4.25”.
The first layer is 3.75 x 4.75”
I stamped that same image in the corners of the Cardbase and blended Strawberry Slush on the corners.
I blended all the edges of the first layer then stamped off with a random speckle stamp that was laying on my desk. Ha! Ha! Not sure which stamp set it came from.
The first layer is on dimensionals.
I added a .75” x 4.25” strip of two toned Strawberry Slush cardstock embossing it with the corrugated folder.
Then arranged my pieces in the shape of a flower. Giving each one a little crinkle.
Added the hello with a butterfly, finishing with the new flat pearls in you guessed it Strawberry Slush!!
Hope you like it!!!
Please keep hopping along and see what the others have done!! Kelly is next!!
I can’t wait to see what everyone has made!!
Annette ... amazing!!! I absolutely love your innovative take on these butterfly wings. Such a gorgeous flower!! xxx
