The new challenge is up at FSC and this month our lovely Dot has asked us to create something Butterfly themed. Always a favourite I used one of Tims tags of 2015 as my inspiration using a new technique I hadn't tried before.
I started with a background of distress inks using fresh, bright Spring colours (in the hope Spring might actually show some signs of arriving). I stamped this with a Butterfly and some script. Tim's technique is layering texture paste through a stencil and adding embossing powder on top which I've done here (after masking the butterflies). I used Gold detail EP and I love the extra depth and texture you get.
As always my fellow FSC teamies have created some beautiful works of art so please head over and check them out. I hope you feel inspired to join our challenge - Don't forget we are a stamping challenge and stamping needs to be the focal point on your project. NO Digi stamps please. Our sponsor is Flonzcraft and the winner chosen at random will receive a voucher for $20 - we also give special mention to our top 3.
I'm also sharing my tag here -

Fab tag, great dimension !!
ReplyDeleteEsther, this is a lovely tag with such wonderful colors! Isn't it fun trying new techniques, and your end result is fantabulous! The gold really lends a pop to this design and those butterflies are the perfect focal point. Love the little heart as well! Awesome sauce!
