This week's Stampin' Fun Friday features a layout with stamped and ink resist butterflies, die cut with a Sizzix Big Shot.
Easy and fun way to create your own embellishments for layouts and/or cards.
The design of this layout was based on Kelly Purkey's Sketchbook 2, Sketch #6.
I kept pretty close to the original sketch. I don't do many one-photo layouts but this page didn't really require any additional photos. I filled the empty space with the butterfly accents. The sketch had room for 9 additional tiny, tiny square photos or embellishments.
I chose the embellishments.
For my title, I used Kerri Bradford's Sidenote Digi Download Kit, available HERE.
I used the large rounded corner rectangle and Print & Cut title, but didn't use the overlay. I tried and tried to make it work and it just didn't on this page. I ended up cutting that rounded rectangle twice and using one above the butterfly accents (with the title) and one below and substituted my journaling for the title.
The butterflies were created by stamping the Hero Arts Flowers and Leaves stamp on white cardstock with Versamark, embossing with clear powder and then die cutting multiple butterflies from it.
Then I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks and the Ink Blending tool to add color to the butterflies. The embossed images "resist" the inks.
