Butterflies are free{bie}!

This week we have our final hidden freebie for you, better catch it before it flutters into the Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff Shop:

Digital Stamps: Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, Die cuts: Cricut, Sentiment: MSE!

I made this set using the Sketchy Cosmos and Filled Butterfly Stamp as well as the Swallowtail Butterfly freebie that you will find on one of my Design team Members blogs. Here is a closer look:

I "Painted" my images with alcohol inks and goo gone, tutorial below.

This bag is the perfect size for a gift card, maybe for a bookstore...

I discovered a new technique using alcohol inks this week. I squirted some out in a plastic palette and let them dry. I filled a empty water-brush with goo gone and used it to paint with the dried up alcohol inks to get a watercolor look on my project without smearing my water based printer ink! Pretty cool huh? Practice a bit first before trying it on your project to get a feel fo it, this will bleed through the paper so you may want an old magazine under where you work. Here is a pic of my setup:

Let the alcohol ink dry in the palette before using. I used Pinata and Ranger inks.

We have a new guest designer this month, her name is Ellen Smith but you can call her “Tink” you can see what she did with my stamps here.
