Dotty & A Shell

This is another card for my card class this weekend, using the current promotional papers "Dotty For You" and a cute little stamp set called A Shell.  I used the tissue stamping method by inking the whole image in Grey Mist ink, then using a tissue dabbed with Creme Brulee ink, I dabbed the image a couple of times, and then repeated it with Smoothie ink.  The overall effect is soft and multi-coloured.  You can't really tell in the photo, but I used a little pink and yellow chalk on the shell image to emphasize it a little more before adding Prisma glitter to the edges.

For my class we are doing two versions of each card, so here it is with the butterfly version I posted a few days ago:

Patterned papers are Dotty For You; Cardstock is Grey Wool, Creme Brulee, Smoothie & White Daisy; Baker's Twine, Paradise Assortment; Prisma Glitter; Stamp sets are Quick cards - A Butterfly & A Shell; Inks are Grey Mist, Smoothie & Creme Brulee; Licorice Opaque Pearl - all CTMH.

A Dotty Butterfly

You're getting a (gasp!) sneak peak of our April/May promotional paper pack called "Dotty" today!  This is a card that we're doing in an upcoming card class that I'm teaching (so if you're coming, it's a sneak peak for you, too!).  I stamped the butterfly a second time onto Creme Brulee cardstock, sponged the center, glittered the edges and glued only the middle down, so that the wings stick up.

Patterned paper is Dotty; Cardstock is White Daisy, Creme Brulee & Grey Wool; Stamp set is A Butterfly; Ink is Grey Wool & Smoothie; Prisma glitter; Licorice Opaque Pearls; Twine - all CTMH.
