Another piece that I am really pleased with the outcome
I started with a shaped wooden board and drilled holes in the top
I then covered it with 2 coats of Gesso and added some texture paste - some through the Tim Holtz Wild Flower layering stencil and some just here and there
I sorted out some junk from my box and added to the board with thick texture paste
I then gave the whole piece 2 coats of Gesso
I started then with the Tim Holtz Distress spray I chose to use mowed Lawn and gave it 2 coats drying in between I then highlighted the flowers and some of the configuration with Gilding Wax
I then Die cut and embossed 2 butterflies using the Tim Holtz Layered Butterfly die and embossing folder - I did one in cream and one in black
I inked the cream butterfly using Distress Inks - Old Paper, Vintage Photo and Rusty Hinge using an ink blending tool - I dried with my heat gun then added a little Salty Ocean Distress Ink to the raised areas. I again dried with heat gun and then added some embossing ink to the raised areas and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I layered both butterflies together and added a pen nib which I had inked with Honeycomb Alcohol Ink
Hope you like it

Oh wow! Wonderful hanging! You've done such a fab job with the trinkets and stencil.. It all looks awesome! I just love that butterfly! Thank you so much for playing along with our challenge at Mixed Media World! Ingrid xx
ReplyDeleteEach one is so wonderful with the themes, textures & colors for the materials usedl. That butterfly is just amazing. Since I'm a button collector from long ago, I'm really drawn to the one with the buttons, but each one is just a work of art. How great that these can be hung & displayed for everyone to enjoy. Love 'em! TFS
