Hi there, I thought it was time for a change from Christmas cards so today's card features the gorgeous new Steampunk Butterfly stamps from Chocolate Baroque. As soon as I saw the stamp sheet I fell in love with the beautiful Art Deco style corners and wanted to show them off.
I took a 6x6 card blank and stamped the corners in each of the 4 corners of the card, i used a black fineliner pen to join the corners and create a frame. I also stamped the corners 8 times on scraps of white card. I coloured all the corners using my promarkers and created a frame in the centre of the card by cutting out 4 of the corners and popping them up with 3d foam. I cut out the flower from the remaining 4 corners and again used 3d foam to decoupage the corners on the card. The sentiment and frame are from 'Best Relative Ever', die cut with nesties labels 4. I was going to leave the card at that but I couldn't resist adding a couple of butterflies from 'Steampunk Butterfly', again coloured with promarkers, with little black faux pearls for their bodies.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Corrosive Challenge: anything goes
Fat pages and cards with attitude: Anything goes
Loves Rubber Stamps: anything goes
Stempel Sonne: anythng goes with a stamp

Amazing, the butterflies look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Claire. Those corners stamps are beautiful and you've coloured them beautifully. I love the way you have used them to make a frame round the whole card.

Gorgeous with the crisp white & striking black accenting. The dimensional flowers of the corners is brilliantly effective too. Super combination of circular & diamond elements too.
