Summer butterflies from Visible Image
Hi Everyone. It's time for my fortnightly design team make for Visible Image.
Today I'm sharing a clean and simple summery birthday card featuring the Antisocial Butterfly stamp set
To create the background, I blended these 3 Distress Ink colours through the stencil, keeping the design fresh and vibrant.
I then stamped the butterfly using Nocturne Versafine Clair ink
I added the small butterflies to create some movement.
I then stamped the butterfly a second time onto a scrap of white card and added a touch of water colouring using two of the same ink colours to tie everything together.
After fussy cutting the butterfly, I attached it with foam tape to give the wings a little extra dimension and movement.
Here is one final photo.
Below is an alternative version of the same design featuring an inked background created with Distress Spray Stains in the same colours.
I love how versatile this layout is and how easily it can be adapted for different looks while keeping that clean and simple design style.
Thanks for stopping by.
Remember to follow my Instagram account here where I share all my creative makes.
Bye for now,

STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebrations
There are lots of prizes to grab so do check out the details over on the STAMP blog here.
There are also some fab new products on the STAMPlorations website and I made 7 cards to showcase some of them.
These are my first 4 and will share the last 3 on Friday.
These are 2 cards using one of the new Pocket backdrops. I used the Floral #1 pack for both the backgrounds. The cupcake is from the Big cupcakes colourables set, such fun and so easy to colour and peeping out behind is a piece from the Floral parade cut-out ephemera which you will find here
My 2nd card also uses a Colourable but this one is from the pack called Big Birthday cakes I teamed it with 2 butterflies from the Fluttery stamp set and a sentiment from the Say it big, enough set . Again I have tucked a piece from the Floral parade cut-out ephemera behind the sentiment which you will find here
For card number 3 I used one of the brand new face stencils called Profile 1 with distress inks. I paired it with a sentiment stamp from Romantic expressions 1
My final card uses a sentiment from the new Floral magic stickers stickers and a gorgeous image from the new Flowers and coffee focal fronts available here. The background is a sheet of my favourite Faded botanicals collage paper.
