Butterfly Time

Greetings! It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here today to share a project with you. This week our team focus is on Butterflies. Topflight Stamps has a wide selection of butterfly and moth-themed products available. Here's a link to take a closer look! 

I've made a card with the Steampunk Butterfly from the TS074 Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy, the PS252 Stencil by by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy, and the PS080 Stencil by Kay Carley for PaperArtsy. 

Here it is!

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Steampunk Butterfly from the TS074 Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy twice —  once onto a white panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

Use Copic markers to color the butterfly. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.

Brush or sponge yellow Copic-friendly dye ink over the masked image. 

Place the PS252 Stencil by by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy onto the image panel so that the perimeter of the clock circle is enclosing the butterfly and secure the stencil with magnets and/or low-tack tape.

 Sponge or brush Copic-friendly orange dye ink over the stencil onto the masked image panel.

Remove the masks and use Y Copic markers to color the openings in the steampunk butterfly. Trim the image panel to 5⅞" square and edge with the orange dye ink.

Use the same orange ink and the PS080 Stencil by Kay Carley for PaperArtsy to add stenciled butterflies and dragonflies onto the corners of the panel. Use Copic markers to add details to the centers of the insects. 

Adhere the image panel to a blue 6" square card.

Upcycling a Cigar Box with PaperArtsy Products

 Greetings! It's Tuesday you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team is focusing on paints! I decided to use Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints and Printed Tissue Paper 4 by Tracy Scott to upcycle a treasured/hoarded wooden cigar box.

The Top of the Box

The Front of the Box

The Side of the Box

The Inside of the Top of the Box

The Inside of the Bottom of the Box

Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy were used to paint the cigar box and the back of images from a sheet of Printed Tissue Paper 4 by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy. 

Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine was used to stamp the two wee triangles from the TS054 Rubber Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy.

Bali Blue and Monarch VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine were used with the Stencil PS322 by Tracy Scott for PaperArtsy to create a panel for the inside of the bottom of the cigar box.

Please note that I used some paints that are not currently available at Topflight Stamps. BoraBora or Beach Hut are a decent substitute for Caribbean Sea.  Eggplant is a good substitute for Purple Rain and Vintage Lace will work in place of Blush.

PaperArtsy Squares Card

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I am playing with some PaperArtsy to create an artsy card. I started out with the new JOFY PS 423 Grid Journal stencil and pulled out my PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic Paints in Beach Hut, Aquamarine, Mermaid, Berry Nice, Globe Thistle, Moon Light. 

Once my background was dry, I used the Tracy Scott Mini 09 & 13 stamps and added an image into each square. I added some white and black pen details along with a little gold for fun. 

I finished my card with the PaperArtsy Life & Living sentiments and clear embossed it. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. Don't forget to check out the sale going on now!

PaperArtsy Tracy Scott Grand Flower

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I have a colored pencil card I made using this gorgeous PaperArtsy Tracy Scott 88 stamp. I love this big floral and had so much fun coloring it up. 

I stamped the flower and leaves with Versafine Clair ink and used some Faber Castel pencils to color it up. I added some shadows and then stamped the PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Live and Living set. 

I finished my card by adding a hand-drawn border around my card. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

PaperArtsy Birds and Snowflakes Zinski Christmas Cards

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some Christmas card inspiration.  I had such a blast making these Christmas cards.  First, I used one of my favorite Zinski stamp sets by PaperArtsy, ZA35.  This is the third year I've used them to make cards, so I'm thinking this will become a tradition.  Last year I made the card below, posted HERE.

The previous year I made the shaker cards below posted HERE.  I also used JOFY01 and Jofy Mini Stamp 20 (JM20) and 30 (JM30).

This year I decided to pair these fun little Zinis with my favorite snowflakes by Tracy Scott (TS063).  I chose to do some multicolor stamping with Distress Oxides and water misting.  

I had so much fun with these cards, but had the new France Papillion bird stamps (FP030) sitting on my table and decided they needed some ink time too!  I used a sentiment and dot stamps by Sara Naumann (ESN29) to finish it off.  The background was a gel print made with PaperArtsy stencil PS309 by Jofy.
