well t is a new month and the start of a second challenge over at countryviewcrafts challenge and the lovely Gabrielle has chosen the new theme for this month which is butterflies. make sure you hop across here to see the rest of the wonderful DT makes So here is my make , playing with the fab new distress paints..a canvas and some stamps.
I also added some stamping in antique linen distress paint and some text from attic treasures. I then edged in walnut stain distress ink. To decorate the canvas I made two ATC's using the fab die ( a real snip of a price as on sale at the moment!) I cut these from cream and corrugated cardstock to give them more depth. I applied distress paint to the craft mat, spritzed and then dragged the ATC's through. When dry I added some distress ink and stamped the butterfly from the tiny things set and also the background from attic treasures.
To complete I stamped lots of butterflies from the Papillon set in coffee archival and inked. I added some walnut stain distress marker using a waterbrush to the body of the butterfly.
To complete I added dare to dream from simple sayings set and butterflies and moths words from Papillion set. I also added a little butterfly at the top of the easel.
a couple more pics...
Make sure you pop across and see the other fab Dt makes here and maybe join in the fun, you have a whole month. I will be back with another butterfly make later in the month!
Oh my goodness...this is gorgeous! Love the way you explained how to try something like this...I think i may give it a go. I love the colours you chose, the images you stamped and the lovely depth you accomplished with your inking!
Trace this is simply Devine! I love your chosen colour scheme and I need to play more with my distress paints. I need to play along this month Love Amanda x
Hi Trace, my all time favourite things - butterflies and blue - wow, this is a delightful piece of art, absolutely gorgeous...... and how clever of you to add the ATCs..... Hugs, Anne x
Trace...I so love this canvas! I love blues and browns together and I love birds and butterflies. So, your butterfly canvas done in the blues and browns is right up my alley! :) Gorgeous make! <3 Candy
Butterflies are always great (it is said we see less en less outside). Love the chicken-wirestamp in the background; gives an impression of being outside. The colours and butterflies are so well placed; just stunning! Have a good easter monday! Hugs, Gerrina
An absolutely stunning make, Trace... you are rocking the Distress Paints, and all those layers of stamping on the canvas really pay off in that amazing background. Love the added ATC panels - what a brilliant idea! Alison x
Oh wow, what a totally amazing creation!!! I absolutely adore the colouring of it and how you have added the butterflies, some faded and some 3D. Really, really gorgeous piece!!!
Gorgeous canvas Trace! I love the painty, inky background you've created. My favourites have to be the butterflies - I love them - they are wonderful. Have a good week and remember: no more apologies! Juliaxx
Stunning!!! I love the blues and browns and the butterflies everywhere are wonderful, and the way you have the split is so cool on this canvas! Awesome!
