Cardstock: Whisper White #100-730, Gumball Green #126-840, Chocolate Chip #102-128
2. Next take the Scrap piece of cardstock and place onto your Whisper White card front. You’ll want to use post it notes to cover the areas where you don’t want to spray. (see sample)
3. Take the Stampin’ Spritzer – I used Rubbing Alcohol and Gumball green ink with a couple drops of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. Now spray on the Butterfly image until you like the coverage. Remove the template and let dry for a little bit.
4. Next take the copy paper template place over the image and again using post it notes to cover the white areas where you don’t want the stamp to be. Using Stamp set of your choice – in sample below I used En Francais background stamp ink it up and stamp over the butterfly.
5. There you have it now just add a few embellishments and you’re done.
Scrapbook – “Time” 12 x 12 Very Vanilla cardstock (124301)
Fan Fair designer series papers (126918)
Crumb Cake ink (126975)
Island Indigo ink (126986)
Morning Post alphabet stamp set with additional Very Vanilla cardstock (w126590 c126592)
Daubers (102892)
Travel Journal builder wheel (126937)and handle/spindle (103661/119895)
1. You will need to begin by using the wheel around random areas of the background cardstock and then daubing the edges using Crumb Cake ink.
2. The large background piece of designer paper needs to be 8” x 9” in size. I did round off the corners of this piece but this is optional.
3. You will then need three strips of papers of 1” wide. In the layout I have used the blue lacy paper, the ruler pattern and the pale rust circular patterned. The additional piece with the fans on needs to be cut slightly wider to allow for the extra pattern and the cutting.
4. Cut the points out in between the fans to add some extra detail. It is difficult to describe but place the strips allowing for the picture placement. All pieces have been daubed with Crumb Cake ink.
5. As some additional detail I cut out the bits of fans and used them as trim on the edge of the main page.
6. Finish with your chosen title using the Morning Post alphabet in Island indigo ink and sticking on appropriate embellishments as on the sample.
