Today I am sharing the last of my Small Things cards. All four of these cards I shared this week were made for a video training I got to do as part of the Designers Showcase team. It was a video on Texture and Dimension for other Journey Coaches. Todays card is a simple card, but you can still have a lot of texture and dimension in a simple card.
My favorite part of this card is the white on white butterfly background. It is faux dried embossed. I die cut several of the butterflies from Whip Cream card stock and adhered them to a Whip Cream card front. I trimmed off the edges of butterflies that were hanging off the edge.
To make the focal image pop, I inked up the butterfly first on a Clear Pigment ink pad and then on the Denim Days ink pad. I stamped it on Whip Cream card stock and embossed it with Clear Powder. This is an easy way to emboss in any of your favorite colors, without having to buy a bunch of colored powders. To color in my butterfly I mixed Lovely Blue Liquid Color and Sparkle Silk and painted it on with a water brush.
I wanted to repeat the texture of shine in this card so I added a hand cut banner from a Clear View sheet and used staples to hold it in place.
I embossed the sentiment with the same technique as I did the butterfly. The white candy dots help to repeat the shine in this card.
