Butterfly Shaker Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Now that Mother's Day is over, and I hope it was a good one, I can share the card that I made for my mom featuring stamps from Red Rubber Designs




      The four butterflies stamped and embossed with the Life So Big Stamp using Emerald Creek (Silver Sparkle) Embossing Powder, represent me and my siblings. 




     The background was made with Lindy's Gang Magicals (Sassy Sapphire, Prima Donna Purple) and Magical Shaker (Oom Pah Pah Pink) onto white cardstock. Then I used Ranger's (Rainbow Sparkle) embossing powder with the floral stamp from the Simple Starters Set. After punching the circles, I used a Q-Tip with the same Magicals to highlight them. 




     Creating a wreath of flowers was the perfect way to show some sequins and other small hearts and stars through a circle shaker, made from clear acetate. The mom butterfly was made to sit on top, using the Finnabair Mould (Art Noveau) with paper clay, and painted with Lindy's Gang Sprays and Art Alchemy Paints. Then I embossed the wings with the Asian Butterfly Stamp, and colored it with sprays, followed by Finnabair Unicorn Paste, also used on the flowers.




     The crown was made with Dusty Attic Chipboard, covered with gesso, and painted with Art Alchemy Paints. Then I embossed the hearts with Ranger (Rainbow Sparkle) EP. 



Thanks for looking!

Gold and Silver Thank You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Combining gold and silver can be very striking and elegant, especially when embossed with rubber stamps from Red Rubber Designs!




     I started by stamping the background script onto white cardstock, using permanent black ink, with the Beauty of a Woman stamp, and spritzing with Lindy's Sprays. Then I embossed the Fern Frond Stamp with Emerald Creek (Silver Sparkle) Embossing Powder, and the bamboo with the Simple Starters Stamp using EC (Charred Gold) EP.




     I used EC (Charred Gold) again with the So Splattered Cling Mounted Stamp along the bottom and right side. Then I embossed the sentiment with the Vintage Greetings Stamp (no longer available) with EC (Mirror Gold) EP, and adhered the sequins and beads one by one. 


 

     
     The frame was cut and mitered from a heavy kraft board, and covered with black gesso. Then I embossed it with the Victorian Borders Cling Mounted Stamp using EC (Mirror Gold and Mirror Platinum) embossing powders. 




     These older Petaloo butterflies were the perfect addition!




     Thanks for stopping by, and get these stamps and more at Red Rubber Designs!
