Like buses with yet another post as we welcome you to the New Year at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations with Mervi's theme of 'Something New' and one I chose of I spy something beginning with B (nothing to do with my name, it's just a letter that always seems popular offering lots of options!). We have prizes from Tonic and Whimsy at the first and Visible Image as the second.
My 'B' is for Butterfly using Visible Image Live Life and Butterfly Ink stamp and coordinating stencil, one I've had for ages but used little so as it's the prize this month at SS it seemed an obvious choice. Various colours of Elements brushed through the stencil to get a rainbow effect and the Butterfly and sentiment (also VI) stamped in black Clair. Girlz Rebel Challenge is exactly the same so entering there and Triple B, Birds and/or Butterflies and Blooms.
My WLS share uses a new to me Lavinia Bird sticker stencil, Elements brushed through the stencil same as above and with the stencil still in place Feather stamped over. I used the same inks to colour the border of a base layer which I stamped over with Magical Mist. I'm linking this one to AAA Birthday where it's Winter Birthdays for the theme. Crafty Calendar is also Something New as is Sweet Stampin' so entering there.

ReplyDeleteYour colors against the black as so beautiful. And I'm curious, is the bird with the feather in it a stamp or did you create it? These colors look wonderful on such a grey and right now lightly snowing morning. Happy new week Brenda. hugs-Erika

Two wonderful cards, Brenda. Thank you for joining in the Crafty Calendar Challenge this month with your second card. The bird is just amazing! I sent off a Lavinia order yesterday…. I wish I’d added this stencil onto my order after seeing your card.

These cards are both beautiful! Really love the unique butterfly design!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautifully done cards, the colors are so gorgeous on both!
ReplyDeleteStunning image with beautiful colours. Thanks for joining us at Sweet Stampin. Pat x
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow sweep of colour across the butterfly is such a striking way to showcase that Visible Image set, and the crisp black stamping gives it so much presence. The Lavinia bird piece has a beautiful sense of movement, especially with the feather detail layered while the stencil was still in place. The coordinated inky border pulls everything together so elegantly. Both projects feel fresh, vibrant, and perfectly suited to the new‑year themes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours on the bird and background layer. Love your card. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
ReplyDeleteI am really loving these colourful cards,
