'Wing' ing it at STAMPlorations

We are celebrating 31 days of Spring over at
STAMPlorations
We are back to our 5 Regular Challenges -
just a little different. We are all going with the same theme
Things with Wings!
and what better way to do it for me but with a
Butterfly and Flowers!

Check out All the Details HERE.

***
I started with -
My potted flowers and butterfly from the
Fluttery Stamp Set and Die
which were heat embossed with
Wow Metallic Platinum Embossing Powder
and coloured with Pearlescent Paints.
My background is a mixture of
Transparent Gloss Texture Paste and
Mont Marte Pearl White Acrylic Paint
thickly pasted with the
ARTplorations Shutters Stencil
Leaving that to dry I then cut out a tag from
CUTplorations Tags 1 Nesting Dies
with card stock to match the flowers and
tying a variegated piece of knotted cotton.
My sentiment was then inked with Tim's Worn Lipstick
and cut with a die from the same set.
I had added some yellow liquid pearls to the
centre of the flowers but wasn't happy with that
so while still wet I poured some tiny seeds on top.
The flower pot and butterfly are popped and
sentiment just slightly.

Here are the STAMPloration products used above.

Canvasing 'Happy Thoughts'

Hi there and Welcome!

Today's post is for the current challenge

of Felt/Cork or Canvas etc over at CAS Mix Up Blog

All the details are Here

You will have seen my first entry using cork.

This time I thought I would play with canvas.

It really is a fun paper and gives a great

texture look to your project.

I started by spritzing some Turquoise Brusho's

onto my canvas then decided to add a bit of texture

with Mont Marte Pearl White Acrylic Paint

then some White DecoArt Crackle Paste - 

I should have added more but was just an experiment.

I left it overnight and was happy with the result so continued

by cutting out 2 Spellbinder Butterflies in canvas.

 Attached them to my background and adhered to white card for stability.

Mixed up a little more of what I used for the background,

covering both cutouts and attached an oval gem.

Added some splatters and finished with my sentiment

from STAMPlorations Bloom Happy in Oxide Salty Ocean.

To blend with my pearly background I chose some

Pearlescent Textured card stock.

Here is a close up of the shimmer/texture - 

My Mix is Canvas, Stamping, Die Cutting, Mixed Media.
