Butterfly and Splat Happiness


I promised you more Alcohol Ink samples...here is a Memory Box Effera Butterfly Wings die cut butterfly cut from one of my samples. I die cut the Rhone Butterfly Wings from SU gold foil paper.  I am so pleased with how butterfly turned out.  I actually made 4 with slight differences.  The Splat is from my Tim Holtz "Splatters" stencil using T.H. Distress Inks and Goldens Molding Paste. I really enjoyed creating this CAS Freestyle card.

I also Heat Embossed my STAMPlorations "Fond Expressions 2" sentiment.  The gold accents on the butterfly and sentiment really helped balance the design.

Here is a Close Up...


My card is for the CAS Mix Up June Challenge: Stamping + Die Cuts + Your own Choice.  My choices are Alcohol Ink painting, Heat Embossing, Stenciling and EB paste.  All that and my card is still Clean and Simple...love that...

  3. WOW!! Gorgeous colours Nancy. Your alcohol ink butterfly is amazing. Love the gold accents. And your splat is so cool and adds lots of texture. Awesome Clean and Simple mixed media card, my friend. :) You should add it to the STAMPlorations never ending challenge as well. xx

  4. I considered the never ending challenge, but my STAMPlorations sentiment is not my focal image so don't think it qualifies. Thanks for suggestion though...and your much appreciated comment! Hugs, nancy
