Congratulations Emily (Stamp Muse) on becoming our latest Queen for the day. I loved looking through your beautiful gallery. I chose the lovely card to case Spunked up Silhouettes
I had made the gesso'd background (challenge Mix6 - Gesso) a couple of days ago, I was showing my mother-in-law the technique. So all I had to do was stamp my silhouetted weeds, the butterfly and sentiment onto the background. The weeds and butterfly were stamped with versamark and the heat embossed with burgundy embossing powder. I sewed the butterflies flight trail (works for the TLC 430 - crazy stitching) Attached the pretty velvet bow and the pearl to the center of the butterfly.
This works for today's Free 4 All, Repeat after me - I have repeated the weed image twice, and also in the background I created, I used the stencil three times and the large dot was stamped many times along with using the bubble wrap in several places.
Thanks for looking,
Enjoy your reign, Emily...
Hugs..Pat
