It's always a plus when I check out Linda's Compendium of Curiosities challenge and see I have all the products I need! Can you believe we're already on week 9, and there's still a ton of techniques left to try! I had a lot of fun with this weeks challenge, as you'll see there's a lot of distressin' going on!
For the background panel, I White Embossed a Flourish Stencil, then stamped the Gratuitous Graffiti background in Black Archival. Once dry, I used and Ink Blending tool to add Crushed Olive, Tumbled Glass and Rusty Hinge Distress inks. The darling girl is from Crafty Individuals, she's stamped in Black Archival on Watercolor paper, then colored using the Marker Watetcoloring Technique. I embossed the panel with a Texture Fades folder and highlighted the embossing with Tea Dye Distress Ink. Following along with Linda's challenge, I cut the Wings using Stampin' Up!'s butterfly die, and used the Distress Crackle Technique for this weeks challenge, placing the wings on dimensionals over my stamped image. By adding the butterfly wings, my card also fits the Things with Wings Challenge at Simon Says. I stamped my image a second time, colored and cut out just the upper portion, then added it to my stamped panel with dimensionals.
