Hello everyone, it\u00b4s Sanna here again today with a video tutorial to a heavily stenciled and lightly layered butterfly card. For this card I used the Stars 1<\/a> and Lattice<\/a> stencils as well as the Mix It Up 5<\/a> stamp set. I also used the Butterflies and Moths<\/a> fodder I had created for my last share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I used a gelli printed background paper on the card. I created that one using the Mix It Up 4<\/a> stamp set with my gel plate. I wanted to keep the colors on the card very light and matching. I therefore added stenciling with pumice stone & tumbled glass tones. They go very well with the background and don\u00b4t create a contrast too strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After stenciling, I added some stamping in same colors to the papers to create more interest and details. The edges of the paper are distressed and inked and the die cut flag is adhered to the paper with 3D foam for more depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u00b4ve also used Gloss Sprays to add splatters to the paper layers. I am a big fan of splatters. I think they add a fun element to projects. For finishing touches I added the gelli printed and stamped butterfly fodder (made using the Butterflies and Moths<\/a> stamp set), a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker and some very old wood veneer stars. BTW: A good alternative for stentiment stickers is our Mix A Sentiment<\/a> stamp set! The black splatters are done with a wet brush and a watercolor crayon. Here is a full start-to-finish video for your to watch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
