Journey of the Butterflies by Dee

Hi everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the summer.

Today I have a tag for you.

I put grunge paste through a Tim Holtz cargo stencil to spell Fly.

Once dry I painted the tag with Fresco Finish Paints in the 

following colours Inky Pool, South Pacific,

Beach Hut, Ice blue, Hey pesto &

Guacamole. 

Once dry I stamped the flowers from Encyclopaedia Botanica down both sides

in black archival and highlighted areas with pumpkin soup and ice blue.

The newspaper print from the stamp I stamped with snowflake

down the right hand side at the bottom of the tag.

To the left hand side I stamped the squiggle line from the borders plate

 in chipped sapphire and gold embossed it. On a separate piece of card I

coloured it with distress inks in wild honey and faded jeans

I then stamped the flowers from the botanica plate,

and the butterflies from the insects and 

butterflies plate.

I triple embossed the clocks of the Tick Tock plate and cut them out.

I used a small clock face to finish this off.

Once I had cut out the butterflies and flowers and highlight areas I

 embellished the centres with sequins and beads.

Next I sprayed the butterflies with perfect pearls in Blue Patina,

Cappuccino and Heirloom gold. The wings were then

 highlighted with glossy accents.

Small beads were applied to make up the bodies of the butterflies along with

gold stickles.

The bottom was finished off with a Tim Holtz die cut painted in gold leaf.

That's all for today I hope you have all enjoyed this project . 

Please feel free to leave me comments 

Happy stamping!
