flutterby butterfly for creative expressions DT

well here I am with another make using the floral silhouette set, a great set full of some very useful stamps. So this week I am back in home comfort land of neutrals , tags and texture paste!..oh and of course , just so you are not disappointed ....some wire! so here is my make:



For this I added some ultra fine glitter into my texture paste , which gave it a rough texture that I quite liked...I applied some to torn cardstock and then stamped the flourish stamp into it, I spritzed my stamp lightly with water first, and also applied some through the tiny dots stencil.


When dry I applied frayed burlap DI and edged in vintage photo..to warm the tone up. I added the rose stamp inked in frayed burlap  to create another area of interest in the background.

The butterflies from the same set were inked in coffee archival and coloured with DI...I then made twisted wire bodies and added some seam binding dyed with distress stains.


have a fun and inky day!
