Fluttering by

Hi Bloggers.

Another simple card today -

For the background, I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Live, Laugh Love Sentiments Stamp Set onto a piece of Coconut White Card using Cobalt Archival. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Cotton Thread Quilt Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design - easy to do as it's a repeating pattern.

I cut a frame out of Coconut White Card using the Bobtails Set from the Couture Creations Frames n Frills Collection. I cut the Couture Creations Stained Glass Butterfly out of Coconut White Card twice. I trimmed one down to create a smaller butterfly. I added Clear Perfect Medium to both the butterflies, then Cosmic Shimmer Blue Speckle Embossing Powder and heat set.

I added a couple of White Pearl Corners. On one of the mats, I added Clear Perfect Medium around the edges of the card, Blue Speckle and Embossing Powder and heat set.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

John Lockwood is launching a new MDF One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm continuing on tomorrow. He's joined by Lisa Horton, the latest addition to the Creative Expressions Team. Lisa is a very talented lady. I do hope you can tune in.

By the way, just to let you know, that the MDF Egg Stand is now back in stock on my website. You can find it here.

Thanks for stopping by.

  28. Hi John
    A really lovely card today.
    I've just finished watching your Mask demos on Hocandra. Yes I'm that far behind. Wonderfully inspiring especially loved how you used the corner die with the paste. Added embossing powder then heat set it. Such a stunning effect. Thanks for the inspiration.
