silhouette butterflies

Hello friends. It’s been a bit of a full on day today, so I’m just popping in to share a quick card with you using Clarity’s just butterflies & bees silhouette stamp set – love these gorgeous images!

I thought of this stamp as soon as I saw the sketch at Sunday Stamps and Color Dare‘s luscious tones are perfect for butterflies. I’m also dropping this into the gallery at Simply Clean & Simple – you all know it’s my favourite style!

So here’s the quick process. I cut a piece of card to fit on an A6 card blank and stamped the butterfly image onto it. I double inked my stamp for this to make sure I got a solid black, putting Archival onto it first, followed by Versafine Clair which is more juicy. It was then out with my trusty Pergaliner pencils to shade in the butterflies – I blended three tones onto each of them to get a good depth.

I used a couple of grey pencils to add a drop shadow around the butterflies where they overlap the background, then edged the topper with a black Sharpie and attached it to my A6 card blank. I then stamped the sentiment from the set onto a strip of white card, cut it at an angle, ran the Sharpie around the edges and attached it to the card front.

Thanks for dropping in. I’m meeting with my craft group tomorrow afternoon, so I’ll share our little project with you then.

  1. Beautiful and that stamp set is great. I really wish I could by some of the stamps you use, but the duty, shipping and exchange values make it cost prohibitive.
