For now I have a few cards to post:
 |
| The base is Kraft card stock, matted with wood grain paper and navy card stock. The dotted patterned paper is also matted with navy and kraft card stock. The car is from the Graphic 45 collections but not sure which one. Some navy pearls and denim bakers twine and I handmade number plate complete the card. |

| I love Splitcoaststampers and each week I get an email with new techniques and ideas. I decided to try out two new techniques from the blog on this card. The first is the little crocheted hearts. Super easy and so fun to make and I think that it suits this card perfectly. The second technique is the white diamond shapes on the pink background. Its called pencil resist on the website but I used a white Wax crayon on mine. You require a stencil of which I choose diamond shapes. Stamp the image, the butterfly, on the card stock first and then the cover the paper with the stencil and colour in the diamond shapes making sure that you do not go over the stamped image. Then using ink or spray you cover the complete image with the colour, which is pink in my card. Remove the excess ink with a tissue and the colour of the paper under the wax crayon will show through. I then embossed the butterfly to make it stand out more and added all the other elements. |
