Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
I am here today to show you two cards made with some left-over Masterboard:
The cards today were made with a small piece of card, some stamps, oxide inks, stickles glitter glue and dies.
The coloured card is a small piece of the left-over Masterboard that I used here from which I took small pieces to fit behind the die cut butterfly and dragonfly. I applied the sentiment directly to the card.
On the card above I added more colour by placing Distress Oxides onto a stamping block and applied this directly to the card blank, one colour at a time.
Some stamped images completed the design and then Stickles Glitter Glue was added to the dragonflies.
As shown here I added some of the colour around the back of the card too. This prevents a sharp finish on the fold.
Here you can see clearly the effect of the Stickles Glitter Glue on the Dragonfly and the Butterfly.
If you only have a small amount of card you can still make a card with techniques like this.
I would love to hear your comments.
Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Beautiful cards, Angela. I like how you've backed the butterflies with left over masterboard and also the technique with the oxides. Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteI love the butterflies in different colours and stickles flying across the first card and the D.O smooching on the second. Great idea to keep the die-cuts in the card too. Very creative, Angela.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty arty cards, love the butterflies and the subtle pastel tones.xx
