I have used the new butterfly stamp set

 So what did I do

1. I used a twinchie and covered it with 3 layers of ultra thick embossing powder, then topped it off with red & yellow ultra thick. I primed my stamp with black ink and stamped into the molten ultra thick embossing powder and allowed it to cool.

2. Used a piece of black cor-dinations and dry embossed it and distressed it.

3.Mounted dry embossed piece on to real red card then mounted onto a black card mount which has lines embossed using my stampin up board.

4. Twinchie mounted onto embossed panel.

5. Silhouette butterflies stamped in versamark ink onto red card and clear embossed.

Cut out and mounted on card front.

There is a Goddess in us all

This is my card for today and yes there is a Goddess in all of us, that's what I keep telling myself.

I have used a new set of stamps called Beauty is art from Visible Image. For my main focal topper i used a piece of mount board and embossed it 3 times with ultra thick embossing powder, the last layer was a red/gold embossing powder. I inked up the torso stamp in black ink and stamped into the melted embossing powder. This gives a deep etched imprint.

I then stamped the border and corner stamp from the same set  in versa mark ink on black card and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I did this with the Goddess stamp also. The black card is then mounted onto  Matt gold card , then black and then gold. Finally it is mounted onto a piece of black embossed card.I mounted the  goddess stamp the same way. I finally finished it off with some gold sheer ribbon.

I think it makes an elegant card, let me know what you think. Thanks for visiting please let me know you have called by, if you need anymore information about the techniques I have used please ask  Tania xx
