Hello again everyone,
For my second project this month I made a simple card and it really is simple to do with this gorgeous Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless Paperpad.
For my second project this month I made a simple card and it really is simple to do with this gorgeous Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless Paperpad.
First of all I trimmed one of the paper designs to cover the front of a 6" x 6" card base and dry brushed a little Picket Fence Distress Stain over the top left corner. I then distressed the edges with Iced Spruce (one of the limited edition DIs) Distress Ink and used the same ink to randomly stamp the flourish all over (this stamp is one from my stash). I adhered this to my card base.
I then stamped the lovely frame from the Duchess Collection Kaisercraft clear stamps onto the ledger page paper from the Kaisercraft pad with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with detail gold embossing powder before cutting it out. I stamped the sentiment (again from my stamp stash) with Versafine Black Onyx ink and then positioned the frame on my card using 3d foam pads. I then attached a metal butterfly which is from my stash of dismantled cheap jewellery.
Finally I cut another butterfly from the paperpad, enhanced the colours with Coloursoft pencils and attached it to my card just by the body so the wings could lift.
Pop back to see us again on Friday when I will have my final offering for November to show you.
Hugs
Lesley Xx

This is gorgeous! Love how you used the frame and the metal butterfly.
I cannot get over the effectiveness of your Coloursoft enhanced butterflu. This was a real education in using the patterned paper to the full & how to personalize it through stamping. Your detailed cutting out of the frame with that narrow border is beautifully effective - you'd think it was a die cut & I love your use of that metal butterfly.

Lesley your "simple card" is just stunning!"! Such a great use of the paper and I adore what you have done with the frame, a beautiful card and the butterfly just finishes it off perfectly!!
Wow you have been busy and this 'simple' card is beautiful. I will be pleased when the online shop gets going as I really like the look of Kaisercraft goodies.
Fab card Lesley, the embossed frame is great, and the butterfly embellishment goes so well. I love the flourish stamping, the colour you have chosen is lovely. Looking forward to seeing your last project on Friday, Judith xx
Might be simple to you but its simply gorgeous to me and full of interest!
Lesley, another stunner. It is clear you have loved working with these papers and the stamping is gorgeous, the mix of embossed and non embossed makes that frame pop out. I love the way you have used the pencils to make the butterfly pop out even more.Another brilliant project. Love it! Elaine xxx
