Mixed Media Butterflies by Amanda Pink

Hi Everyone and Welcome

For my regular DT post this week I have created a piece of 'Stamp Block Art' that features some of Tim Holtz Distress inks and a lovely Carabelle stamp: 'Mixed Media Butterflies' designed by Birgit Koopsen.

The stamp block can be displayed on a flat surface, either way round as the creativity on one face of the stamp block is mirrored on the other, give or take a few inevitable creative nuances.

One face....

and the other

For both of the small background panels I created a larger 'wrinkle free distress' background that I cut into two and adhered to greyboard panels (cut to size). I used Tim Holtz Distress inks: Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron.

I stamped the Carabelle Studio Stamp: 'Mixed Media Butterflies' on to each background, stamping with versafine ink.

A few splatters of white paint and the background panels were set aside while I created the dimensional butterflies.

On white card I stamped the 'Mixed Media Butterflies' stamp 2 times so I had 6 butterflies in total.

The butterflies were watercoloured with the same distress inks mentioned above using different colour variations for each one.

The butterflies were fussy cut, white highlights added, the wings gently manipulated and each one was adhered to the matching butterfly on the background panels.
