You can't miss this issue if you are in need of some seriously good stamping inspiration!
We have 28 features using these stamps, plus bonus video content for you to enjoy.
1 Secure the hexagon stencil (or a die-cut hexagon aperture, if you have hexagon dies) centrally over a 14.5cm square of white cardstock.
2 Brush Dusty Concord ink around the edges of the hexagon, then add Picked Raspberry to the centre, brush more Dusty Concord ink round the edges.
5 Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock using Thistle ink and trim the end into a banner. Secure as shown under the wing of the bottom butterfly.
1 Cut a piece of masterboard slightly smaller than the card front, and a matching piece of white cardstock. Adhere the masterboard panel to the card front.
2 Cut various sized circles from the white panel using three sizes of circle die. Affix over the card front.
3 Stamp the butterflies using Watering Can ink and colour in, adding Wink of Stella to the wings before cutting out. Shape the wings with your fingers to add dimension and attach to the card front. Fix a pen nib in place to represent the bodies using 3D glue gel.
1 Stamp the large rose randomly round a 14cm square of white cardstock. Stamp four roses on masking paper, cut out and mask some of the roses, then blend Mermaid Eyes and Blue Marlin ink over each one, repositioning the masks as you work round.
2 Press Sunburnt ink onto a glass mat, spritz with water and paint a little pink over each rose, then splat paint from the white Posca pen all over the design.
3 Stamp the circles in different colours round the edge of an 8x10cm piece of cardstock. Stamp the sentiment on spare cardstock and cut round it then affix to the circles panel using 3D foam pads.
4 Matt onto white cardstock and draw squiggly lines around the edge. Affix to the large panel, then to the card front and draw another border round the edge.
5 Embellish with different coloured pearls to match the colour on the topper.
1 Cut a 6" square and a smaller square of white cardstock. Stamp the script in opposite corners of the large square as shown and in the centre of the smaller square, with the sentiment underneath. Stamp the crackle image across both panels using Vintage Photo ink as shown.
2 Stamp two butterflies on the large square and one on separate cardstock, heat-embossing using clear embossing powder. Add a drop of Luscious Pigment Powder to water and paint the butterfly.
3 Use a brush to splatter any left-over pigment mix over the background and topper and allow to dry.
4 Matt and layer the topper and the background onto brown and dark green cardstock and affix to the card front.
5 Use 3D glue gel to attach the hessian ribbon and butterfly to the front of the card.
That's all for extra cards this issue. We always like to give you a little extra so we hope you are even more inspired!
