Butterfly


KHi everyone, another quickie as I need a nap lol. Over on the Country View Crafts challenge blog the theme for November is bees, bugs and butterflies.

I took a #10 Manila tag and around the edge I used Fresco paint from Paper Artsy in French Roast then cackle glaze and then Hint of Mint. 
I put this to one side and took a piece of smoothy card and cut to fit the Tag. I sprayed it with Tea stain from colorbloom and I used some Tim Holtz dies to add some texture and once the glue had dried filled in some of the area with crackle paste.
I let this dry and built the colour with a mix of sprays but got so carried away I forgot what I used.
Next I sprayed my butterfly with a mix of color bloom media line and docraft Artists in blues, with a touch of magenta.

I built up my layers With lots of spraying. Once this was dry I used a script stamp on the butterfly and embossed the edges with distress embossing powder in Walnut Stain.

I wanted my blue to have more depth so added some brusho in turquoise and Ultramarine.
I brought my pieces together to form the tag.

I added some ribbon  and a tim Holtz sentiment, the letters of which I had rubbed patina in to help them stand out.

Thank you for coming over to have look. See you soon
