A new Sunday, a new challenge over at Sentimental Sundays!!
This week we want to see..
INKY FINGERS
unconventional stamping materials or techniques
Now is that not FUN?! Step outside your comfort zone and give it a go.
As soon as I seen the challenge title a few weeks ago I knew straight away what I wanted to do. If you have seen THIS post you will know the results that can be achieved with a little bit of bubble wrap and some chalk ink..
This time round I wanted to give it a go with some smaller bubble wrap - truth is, I LOVE this technique and the results are guaranteed to be different every time.
My card base is Bazzill Kraft and I have stamped the bubble wrap in Chestnut Roan chalk ink for even coverage. I have used patterned paper from Bo Bunny - Gabrielle collection. I LOVE the butterflies and the aquas and browns. Really gorgeous. It is sort of shabby chic - which isn't really my style.. but the more I flick through the pages the more it grows on me..

The sentiment is from Paper Makeup, also stamped in Chestnut Roan and cut with a nesties sixteen die. I adhered a strip of cream seam binding with a ruffle detail to one side and fussy cut two of the butterflies from a patterned paper and adhered them using dimensionals. (I have burnt each side of the seam binding to stop it from fraying - it is totally obvious that it is burnt - infact it was on fire for like 0.2 seconds before I blew it out. I sorta like the look of it though - rustic is what I'm calling it and I'm sticking by that! HA!) I thought the top of the card looked a bit blank so I added a little scalloped strip to the left hand side I was going to add stitching but guess what? I couldn't find me paper piecer or my Sew Easy. Ty-pic-al.
I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

Haven't seen the Sew Easy Ty-pk-al heads & I'm not used to seeing your cards without any stitching - does that mean the fine liner has had it?? Love the burnt edges of the seam binding & that sentiment is absolutely REAL.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday - I'm selling books to earn some pennies for stamps.

PS - I did finally work out what Ty-pk-al was. Hopeless Swede grappling with English - or is that Scotch?
Wow what an amazing card. The bubble wrap printing is perfect and that sentiment is fab.
