Just a Note

Good morning all.

Domestic goddess duties dispensed with yesterday so today I hope to fit in some playtime with my Gelli Plate and some new stencils.

Sharing a quick make today which I managed last night.


Stencils and music stamp from STAMPlorations, sentiment from Wild Rose Studio and die from Spellbinders. Using clear matte textured paste I stencilled one of the butterflies from the Flutterby stencil onto the die cut. Once dry I masked off the edges and stamped the music from the Mini Mixed Media Backgrounds set and my sentiment using tan ink. I then used peacock feathers DI to ink around the butterfly. Gridlocked stencil was used to emboss the base card, topper was added with foam tape and I was done!

  1. This is brilliant. Love the light airy look you've achieved with the clear paste on the butterfly with the soft blue behind it. Another great detail was to add the music in the more vintage tone. Really superlative design on this one! (and you would LOVE the brusho-s.) TFS
