Good evening !
I was working on more cards for
Designs by Ryn this week and posting these which feature a butterfly stamp named Candra ! (CM-B6). Candra is really a moth ! These are another diversion from Christmas Cards !
The background for the above card was created with Tombows, water & salt ! The stamp is by Designs by Ryn - Candra CM-B6. I stamped the butterfly and the sentiment 'Dream' by Kaisercraft in Colorbox Pigment Ink - Harbour and embossed with clear.
To create the background of the above card, I stamped Impression Obsession Cover a Card - CC025 Tapestry 2 on blue/green card stock with Gold Brilliance Ink and then embossed in clear. The combination gave a neat shimmer to the background ! Candra was stamped and embossed twice in black on watercolour paper. I coloured with my Tombow markers using water on the paper. I cut out both butterflies, but just the center of the 2nd one and popped them up as the photo shows. I added a little left-over paper from the first card onto the background along with hand dyed silk ribbon and a crystal heart charm.
Again the above background was created by using Tombow markers, Water and salt. Candra was stamped & embossed with gold and painted with Tombow markers.
I guess it's going to be a long time before we see real butterflies (or moths) again in our garden but here is a gorgeous photo of a 'real' one that my step-mom Ann took. I love this photo and thought I would share it !
Thanks for stopping in on my Blog and have a great day !
