 I have first stamped the Sequin waste open stamp with Versamark on to my card and embossed it

Then I sprayed ink from Distress Re-inkers and aged the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Inks pad.

Cut and stuck a butterfly I have made using the stamp kissing technique, and I stamped the sentiment on a piece of kraft paper.

Since it's Anything Goes this month, I've been doing some art journaling - or at least I've been creating in a journal.  I used the Jumbo Camellia by Katy Leitch - which has lots of extra flower heads to play with - as well as Calligraphic Mat #4 to add to the romantic background layering of book pages, tissue tape and gesso.

Once the background was in place, I started layering papers and ephemera - lots of it from the Tim Holtz Ephemera packs, though Jennie's got some fab ephemera packs too.  These just happened to match!  I also added some metal leaves which I "rusted" with Distress Embossing Powder.  Lots of Dylusions splatter gives the pages their finishing touch.  Come and see more over at Words and Pictures.

I am here today with my first Artistic Stamper challenge.

 I made it by using the insects and butterflies plate,

calligraphic mat 18, and the 

Time and Keys plate. 

Fresco Finish paint in the following colours London Night, Mushroom 

and Nougat. A wooden butterfly painted and treasure gold applied 

Chipped Sapphire distress ink on the butterflies and clear embossed

glitter paste through a small dot stencil. 

We hope you will join in this month's challenge and look forward to seeing you creations. Don't forget to add a comment when you have posted your entry.

 

I will be back tomorrow with the winner of July's Challenge.

Have a very creative month

{hugs}
