A Swirl Of Colour

Hi everyone I feel like summer is here as I have just returned from Corfu.

I must say I fell in love with it and would Love to live 

there  (a dream me thinks!!!).

Back to the real world I have for you today a

butterfly and texture plaque.

I started by colouring a tag with Adirondack colour

wash which I then sprayed with water.

I put clear texture paste through the Swirl mask.

Once dry I cut out a strip and placed it across the middle

I sealed the whole thing with Matt sealer. 

Next I used antiquing cream to highlight the swirls or you could use

acrylic paint and just before its dry knock 

it back with a baby wipe.

A close up 

I stamped the butterfly x2 off the insect plate onto some extra card

 that had been coloured the same way as the main plaque.

I used versa fine black ink and clear embossed the butterfly

this got antiquated as well

Round the edges I used crackle paste and allowed to dry.

I used a torn page to go across the middle strip which 

i coloured with spiced marmalade distress ink.

The crackle paste was painted with acrylic paint to match it in.

I triple embossed create stamp and cut out

 the letters to form the art.

To finish off I highlighted it all with gilding wax.

Thank you for popping by & don't forget to

let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x
