Pro31 Designs Sweet Smile Card

Hello blogging friends!  Today I have another project from Pro31 Designs to share with you and I also have a video.  This is only my second video and I am not a tech savvy person by any means but luckily my wonderful husband has stepped in and helped me out!! ♥

 

Here is the card I designed using several products from Pro31 Designs and Spellbinders™.  I love the vintage/ shabby chic look!  The pattern paper and the stamp set I used are both from the London Market Collection from Pink Paislee. The Simply Smooth Ivory, DoubleMates Racy Raspberry and Kraft cardstock papers are from Discount Cardstock.  

 

One of the products I used from Pro31 Designs is these Mulberry Curly Roses (8103).  These roses are a great size for paper crafting but one of the things that I love about them is that you can take them apart and use the center rosebud for a smaller flower.  (as shown in the video)

I used one Curly Rose as is and then I took two of them apart to make smaller rosebuds.  But don't throw away the bottom parts of the rose you can still alter them for another project by putting a large pearl or rhinestone in the center, a button or another smaller flower in the center for a whole new look.  I wanted to try and match the color of the roses in the pattern paper so I made a color wash using Victorian Velvet ink, then I also used Aged Mahogany and Antique Linen to add more color.

Here is a close up of the flowers.  Once the flowers were dry then I added a chunky glitter and brushed on Antique Linen Distress Stain with a paint brush to give it more of an aged look.   I also added some Iridescent Crystal Beaded Sprays in with the flower cluster and Ivory Tear Drop Pearl Trim along the bottom of the card. 

 

I used a few of the Small Green Fabric Leaves and I also altered them to match the paper.  First I  applied Snow Cap Acrylic Paint Dabber to the leaves and next I added Vintage Photo ink and a paint brush with water to move the ink around. Then I added glitter and Antique Linen Distress Stain to the leaves.

The butterfly image and the sentiment are from Vintage Impressions Clear Stamps from the Pink Paislee London Market Collection.  I stamped the images on to Simply Smooth Ivory paper using Rich Cocoa ink.  Then I inked the inside edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I used S5-090 Romantic Rectangles die template from Spellbinders.  To create the frame I used Kraft paper and S5-083 Antique Frame and Accents die template and applied Snow Cap Paint Dabber, Vintage Photo and Rich Cocoa ink. 

To create the layered butterfly I used Simply Smooth Ivory paper, Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany and Antique Linen Distress Inks.  The smallest butterfly is an image from the stamp set and I watered down the inks and fussy cut the image.  For the two larger butterflies I used LF-006 Wonderful Wings die templates and the same paper and inks.  The body of the butterfly is one of the Ivory Tear Drop Pearls from the beaded trim.  I also added chunky glitter and Antique Linen Stain.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoy the card and the video.  Have a wonderful and creative day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi
