Let Your Soul Sing

Good Sunday morning all!  You can probably tell that I have been going back through some of my folders looking for cards that have fallen through the cracks so to speak.  I haven't shown a clean and simple style recently so I thought this one would fill the bill.  This sample is from shows in October and uses the Justrite stamp set called Let Your Soul Sing.  It was so simple, I merely ripped a piece of copy paper in to a sort of diagonal strip and taped it across my coconut white card (which I taped to my craft mat so it wouldn't slip.  I used Peacock Feathers distress ink in a sort of pouncing motion rather than the usual circular fashion (that way it doesn't get under the copy paper accidentally).  I blended the colour outward away from the copy paper to give it a softer look and when I was happy with it, I removed the copy paper mask.  I stamped the branch from the set using a black Archival ink pad coming in from the side.  I stamped the sentiment, also in black Archival so that it was both inside and outside of my inked area.  I used two of the small butterflies from the set and added them with the peacock feathers ink.  I added a hint of yellow in the larger butterfly (just because it looked like it needed a bit more colour).  The card was finished with a double white pierced mat layer (in about 15 minutes, record time for me!)  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
I have added the other short video that I did at CHA at the bottom of the post.  I only had the idea to do a few videos on the last day, maybe I will try my hand at a few more at our trade show next month!
