Inspiration - Dare 2B Artzy

Good Morning Dare 2B Artzy Friends!

I love butterflies and the Dare 2B Artzy stamp set called Butterfly Inspiration is just so beautiful.  I did a card with a tag that has been inked with the new Oxide inks and an embossed resist.

 Design Steps:

1. Use an A2 white card base and cut a slightly smaller piece of DP from the Dare 2B Artzy Doodle Variety pack. Glue the DP to the white card base
2. Use a large tag and stamp with the Dare 2B Artzy Playful Poises stamp set with Versa Mark ink.  Emboss with white embossing powder.  Heat set the powder
3. Using Oxide inks sponge on yellow, orange and red splatter with water and then heat set
4. Angle the tag and use dimension dots to mount to the card front
5. Stamp the butterfly using the Dare 2B Artzy Butterfly Inspiration stamp set.  Color with watercolor pencils. 
6. Stamp the sentiment on vellum with Versa Mark ink and emboss with black powder.  Heat set the powder and attach the sentiment to the card as shown.
7. Use dimension dots to attach the butterfly and also add the white bow

I love how the embossed resist turned out and it looks really great with the designer paper.

I decided to do a Flip Down Stack card using the Dare 2B Artz set called Playful Posies Layered.

I will give you a step by step tutorial below and also a link to Splitcoaststampers where I got the original idea for the card.

 1.  Cut a piece of white card stock to 9 1/4 x 8 and fold in half. This card will fit in a business sized envelope.  Cut a piece of Dare 2B Artz DP from the Artz Doodles Variety Paper Pack 9 x 3 3/4 then mat on black card stock

 2.  Next cut 4 whtie squares 2 1/2 x 2 1/2.  Line up 3 of the squares as shown and run a line of tape across all three

 3.  On top of the tape run a piece of sheer ribbon down both sides and sip the ends of the ribbon to be flush with the square

4.  Flip the stack over and cut 4 black squares at 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 and 4 white squares at 2 1/2 x 2 1/2.  Glue the black squares to the front of the stack

5.  On the white squares you are going to make a background using inks.  Squish the ink pads to a none stick easy to clean surface and spray with water then swipe your paper through the ink.  I did 3 using the warm colors and 1 using the cool color combo

6.  After the square ink backgrounds are dry stamp with the Dare 2B Artzy Playful Poise set

7. Glue 3 to the front of the stack over top of the black mats

8.  Flip the stack over and on the bottom square cover it with a scallop white square doing the same to the middle square.  In between the 2 middle squares position a pull tab. On the middle square glue down a black mat and then the final inked stamped square.  Nothing goes on the top because it is going to be glued to the card

9.  Flip the stack back over and fold the stack up from the bottom.  If you folded it correctly you will see the decorated panel on the back 

10.  Glue the stack to the front of the card as shown and attach a little paper clip to prevent the stack from opening.  Stamp your sentiment using Dare 2B Artz Hot Air Balloon
