I have been wanting to use the Ever So Much stamp set since it came out last year as a freebie, but the main image (butterfly) is so large that I was just never quite sure what to do with it! Until I watched Stephanie's video and this set popped into my brain right away! Take a look:
I started by using a butterfly stencil with Berry Sorbet, Hawaiian Shores, & Harvest Gold inks, and then stamped the large butterfly image in black several times over the smaller stenciled butterflies. I used Big Hugs for my stamped and die cut sentiment, and finished with some clear sequins and bakers twine.
I love the way this card turned out and can't wait to try this technique with some of my other stamp sets! Make sure you check out Stephanie's beautiful card and video, and all the other cards in the gallery too, and then play along. You can find all the details right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
