I have churned out many samples for the lesson, but have to admit I also had an alteria motive in one of the samples, as I have a friends Birthday Tomorrow, so in fact one of the sample is her card.So here we go with a step by step..
Firstly, I stamped my image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Coloured it in using Copic pens, glazed with Glossy Accents and the added Crystal Stickles to the bubbles..
I then embossed a piece of thick acetate using the Retro Circles Embossing Folder from one of Sir Tim's (Tim Holtz) Embossing Folder sets.
I then went round some of the embossed images with Crystal Stickles, with the intention of using this as a soapy/bubbles background to the stamped image.
Whilst this was drying I made my stepper card, instructions on how to make it are here if you need them.
Once dry, I applied my embossed piece of acetate to the largest panel of the stepper card using White Eyelets
and then added the image using foam pads.
I stamped the sentiment (which also comes with in the same set as the main image) using Black StazOn onto some pink card stock
and cut it out with Labels Four Nestabilitie and applied it to the project.Now, my friend is a real Butterfly freak! So the card had to have some somewhere, even if it didn't really tie in with the theme of the project.
I punched a few Butterflies out using the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch from some lighter Pink card stock, attached them to the project adding a few Pink gems for decoration.
And there you have it!Have a great weekend everyone, back on Monday with a new project for the Cuttlebug Blog Spot. Thanks also for all of your comments, they are greatly appreciated. Don't forget to leave one on this post for another chance to with Octobers Blog Candy...
See you soon.

Although I don't like the 'Flipin' images very much I have to say this card is fab. Love the acetate idea. Another great card Andy.

ReplyDeleteFabulous card Andy, I'm sure your friend will love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Andy I think I must have all the flippin decoupage, and there are only 2 ways I have ever used them. Well now I have number 3. I like it a lot and was wondering if I could borrow your brain for a few weeks, just for the inspiration of course. Well done on yet another lovely card.
