Inked and Stamped Background using Ann Butler Design Products

Inked and Stamped Layout

I created this fab layout using ink and stamps ...  products of Ann Butler Designs on the background base.

I used Background Basics and Crafters Ink by Clearsnap.

Here are a few close up shots of the details on the background base.

Using ink and a plastic bag ... put ink on the bag, add a spritz of water, wrinkle the baggie and blot onto the background paper. 

I used a few of the fall colours to match fall and the papers on the background.

Next I ink stamped some of the base stamps... triangles.

I then stamped in the upper and lower corner using stitch like border stitches.

With the background done I added the matted print top and bottom border angled. I add some sparkle gold cardstock and a fall print paper. I fussy cut some fall accents to cluster and inked the edges.

I cut and popped up some tag accents and added some sticker alpha along with some strip words.

Stamp, Ink and Iridescents from Ann Butler Design

Stamped and layered Card

I created this fab card and used both Iridescents,stamps and ink all products of Ann Butler Designs on the background base.

I used amazing Sheer Silver Iridescents, Background Basics and Desert Sand Ink. 

Here are a few close views showcasing the details of my card.

I brushed on iridescents first and heat gun dried.

When dry I stamped corners with triangle stamps and using single row stitch  and zigzag stamps.

Then using cardstock and print papers I created layers, some popped up, inked edges and also fussy cut the image pieces.

With the background done and some accents done... I wound around twine on the corner and tied a bow. I added some bead above and below by stamped lines. The piece was matted on black and then everything was glued to the main card base.

Framed Canvas made using Ann Butler Design Products

Framed Canvas

I created the framed canvas and used both Iridescents on the canvas and stamped using ink all products of Ann Butler Designs.

I used amazing Sheer Gold and Ocean Surf Blue on the beach canvas of my Grand Daughters visit to Florida in March. Visits with us are so much fun and we love the time we get to share  with them. 

Here are a few close views showcasing the details of the framed canvas.

I stamped the canvas first using Ocean Breeze ink.

On this stamp that looks like stitches I used Ocean Surf irredescents.

Then using a baggie method and Sheer Gold Pearl Iridescents I added it to background canvas.

With the background done I pulled coordinating papers.... Craft foil paper pad.

I also sized and matted a 4x6 for the main photo. I then wrapped the photo with twine.

I added the smaller circular head photo with matting and then added a cluster of flowers with bead accents with a leaf accent.

Step 3:

Sheer gold pearl Iridescent is used to accent the chipboard accents. (this is my favour gold accent for chipboards as it matches so many colour options.)

Fun Techniques using Ann Butler Products

Fun Techniques using Ann Butler Products

I created amazing backgrounds using Ann Butler products. Wtih so many colour options creating is fun. 

I created this background for my card. I used the soft elegant colours to compliment the papers.

Step 1:

These photos show the technique used to create the finished look.
I stamped the coloured i planned to use on a scrap... and added some water to thin it and to where I could grab the colours from the paper with a paint brush.

Step 2:

This photo shows how i spread the colours over the main card base in about 3rds and blending together at the edges of colour change.

Step 3:

After applying an accent border piece of paper I took the paint brush with lots of ink on it and flicked it onto the background using a mix of colours.

Step 3:

With the main background done I 3Dfoam popped the print paper section with the bird ready to apply to center of the background.

Step 4:

With everything glued together I have an amazing card for any birthday and the background colours look amazing with the print images.

******************************************

I created this background using Ann Butler Iridescents... which look metallic or pearlescent.... and coloured chipboard with it too. What a rich elegant finish.

Step 1:

I put the medium on the baggie on my hand and then applied some water... I then scrunched it in my hand to spread it around on the baggie. It was then dabbed onto the tester paper.

Step 2:

After seeing the tester I then took the big jump and I appied the same technique to this scrapbook page layered background. It looks awesome. With all the fun bright colours of paper the pearlized iridescents medium in Orchid was perfect.

Step3:

While testing the iridescent medium on paper I decided to test it also on chipboard.... and OMG I love it... what a fabulous shimmer to add to make great accents for your projects.

Step 4:

Here is my project using lots of Iridescent medium on my scrapbook page.
