I was inspired by Tim's demo from his Easter + Spring Ideas 2024 live to make a fun Easter card.
I started with distress mixed media heavy stock as the base. Smooshed distress inks on my craft sheet, spritz with water, dabbed card base in inks and heat setting between layers.
Next I placed the stencil from TH/SA mixed media stamps and stencil set, THMM183, (circles) onto inked background and coloured with distress watercolour pencils, then lifting the stencil to out line them. This is a really cool technique. You can find this in Tim's demo. It's at the 1:36:31 mark.
The TH/Sizzix bigz die butterfly duo with texture fades is perfect for this card, just the right size and the details are awesome. Distress oxides for the base and distress ink in scorched timber swiped over the raised embossed area. I love the look that scorched timber gives, it's almost a black brown depending on how you apply it.
Switching the butterfly up by adding bunny ears from TH/Sizzix thinlits bunny hop vault die for the antennas, coloured with distress inks, to give dimension to the ears.
The fonts of the stamp set Crazy Talk are so fun. I used the quirky hand written saying 'hippity hoppity' inked in distress embossing ink and embossed with Ranger embossing powder - white, on blackout kraft stock. Then cut the words in sections to create my own words.
Pop ups for the butterfly, rabbit ears and sookwang adhesive for the words.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and it leaves you feeling inspired.
