Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today using a really fab and unusual stamp from Rubber Dance.
What to do:
Take
a sheet of Strathmore Mixed Media Paper and proceed to swoosh it through a
mixture of the green, yellow and brown Distress Oxides, which have been diluted
first.
Dry
the background thoroughly and place to one side.
Now
this is where the confession comes in as the figure was originally stamped and
white embossed directly onto a tag that had been painted with a blue shade of
Fresco paint. However, I messed the tag up but couldn’t bear to throw the whole
thing away so I fussy cut the figure out.
Within
my stash I had this pair of Tim Holtz die cut butterfly wings which were
assembled from a Gelli print and black card and I thought….as you do….hey this
figure needs wings!
Adhere
the winged figure to the card, then taking one of Tim’s chipboard sentiment,
swoosh it through a little orange colour Distress Oxide and then add another
little sentiment at the top of the card.
Mount
onto black card and then white cardstock.
A
quirky card, oh yes indeed. By the way, does anyone else feel really reluctant
to cover up a Oxides background too much?!
Supplies Used:
Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Chipboard Quote Chips and
Metallic Quotations Stickers
Hope
you like it
Donna

ReplyDeleteA really unusual card Donna and love your oxide background which contrasts perfectly with the winged figure.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean about covering up oxide backgrounds too as I still can't bear to do anything with the first one I made!

Amen, sister on not wanting to cover up those DOX backgrounds! Awesome inspiration here! Thank you for your kind words on my broken brick garden wall; they made my day!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, Donna - this is gorgeous! Love the white embossing on the body, and cutting her out was a happy accident I think. Love the wings!! Your Oxie background is really beautiful, as always! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the composition of this Donna, really highlights the background and to know there is even more background beauty hiding beneath those wings makes it even more intriguing.. Hugs Tracey xx
