Yesterday I had the pleasure of some playtime with my distress range, experimenting with combining regular distress inks and spray stains with oxide inks and sprays. I ended up with a number of backgrounds to use for future projects and today sat down to turn one of them into a card. Here's that result.
Materials used:
- stamps - Specimen (Tim Holtz)
- card - basic black, whisper white, watercolour
- oxide inks - rusty hinge, speckled egg, iced spruce, old paper, crackling campfire, black soot
- other - black embossing powder, heat tool, quote chip (Tim Holtz), aqua painter, water spritzer, Dimensionals, black marker, scissors
I must admit to being a bit worried as I fussy cut around those narrow antennae! But thankfully I managed to not chop them off, lol. The body is glued flat while the wings are elevated just a little.
Thanks for dropping in. Stay safe.
Cheers
Kez

What an amazing card, the butterfly is spectacular, love the bright vibrant colours. The background is subtle to allow the full beauty of the butterfly to pop. Awesome! TFS
