Distress Ink Background using Masking and Sponging technique

Hi all! I have used masking and sponging technique to create this card. First, I created a mask for the top and bottom using Washi tape and sponged the rest using Peacock Feathers and Peeled Paint distress inks. I then stamped the butterfly image and sentiment on the colored panel. Both the butterflies and sentiment are "Direction of  Happy" stamp set from Unity Stamps.

I then removed the masks and scored three lines above and below the sponged area and mounted it on a black card stock. Finally, I added some liquid pearls and rhinestones. Hope you like it.

My special thanks to Berina (Moxie Craftie) for the wonderful Stamp Set.

Handmade Congratulations Greeting Card / Long - Skinny Card with Paper Flower Tutorial

Hello all! I made a long and skinny card. This one was very simple and easy to make. The idea of making long and skinny card came from Mojo Monday sketch. The finished size of the card is 3.5" X 8.5". I used Fresh Floral Stack pattern paper from DCWV. Both the flowers were handmade using EK Sucess medium retro flower punch. I used Die-Namics Fancy Flourish die on the background. 

Leaves were punched out using Punch-Bunch punch. I added some Pearls and Rhinestones to finish off the card. 

Handmade paper flower tutorial:

 

Punch out three flowers using retro flower punch (or cut freehand). Draw and/or cut the flowers as shown.

Use twezzer or simply use your fingers to crease the petals as shown above.

Invert the flowers and bring the petal towards the center.

Apply a dot of glue on the center and layer the flowers on top of each other. Use rhinestone, liquid pearl or half pearls as your flower center. 

Hope you liked it.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day.
