Morning my crafting friends, hope this finds you all safe and well, if not plenty of hugs to you.
Today's post is another card I made with the left over from a sheet I had coloured for my friends Birthday card, you can see it HERE I used up every little bit I could, I think I just have a couple of feathers and a swirl left lol!
I did not want to cover up the background so I just added an Art Deco Swirl and a MDF Butterfly that I had coloured with Promarkers then matted and layered it onto White card.
For the background I took a sheet of Leather Look card and inked it with Crushed Olive and Peacock Feathers, blending them together as best I could, using a circle die I bleached (painting with water then blotting using kitchen towel) inside the circle, I splattered some drops of water over the card and blotted them before I dotted glue over the the sheet using a glue pen then heat embossed with embossing enamel, that was how the background was achieved.
Items Used:
White card
Tim Holtz Distress Inks Crushed Olive and Peacock Feathers
Spellbinders Standard Circles Large
Sailor Rollerball Glue pen
Stampendous Embossing Enamel Shabby Green
Crafts Too Art deco Swirl
MDF Butterfly (Poundshop)
Promarkers

Gorgeous Love the inking and it doesn't need anything but what you've added! Love the swirl and that butterfly - pound shop - you're kidding!
ReplyDeleteAm loving that leather look paper. Really shows the design when sponged ... and great combo of colours. Great technique of bleaching the circles to create a bokeh background. Your rich coloured butterfly is striking against the soft background. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jacquie! I love the rich coloured butterfly on the pastel background, such a unique and wonderful contrast! Love it! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Love the zesty background.
