Happy Monday lovely That's Crafty! Creatives!

Wow, what a scorcher of a weekend. I hope you've all enjoyed the sun safely. I've enjoyed crafting under my gazebo and managed to complete a few projects including this fun little card using some of the brand new Grunge Collection by Studio Light. 

I started by stamping the Studio Light Grunge Wanderlust Butterfly and Keys onto white cardstock using Versfine Clair Twilight.

For the background of the main image I brushed on some Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio and Saltwater Taffy, then painted the keys and butterflies with That's Crafty! Multi Surface Paint in Purple, White, Metallic Bronze and Metallic Gold. Once dry I edged around the main images of the stamp with Uni-Ball Black Fine Liner 0.3.

I made a card blank measuring 5.75 x 5.75 inches and cut an aperture in the centre 3.75 x 3.75 inches. I spritzed the front of the card with That's Crafty! Flat Matte Spray Ochre, then stencilled through the Letter Grunge mask from Studio Light using the Twilight Versafine Clair. 

I traced the lines of the aperture to the inside of the card and inked with a mixture of the Pistachio Distress Oxide and Twilight Versafine Clair, then randomly stamped the dots from Studio Light's Inspire and Create Grunge stamp set. I used a scrap piece of card to mask off each side, then created a mask for the centre of the card so I could spritz with the Ochre spray. 

I stamped the Wanderlust word stamp from the Grunge Wanderlust set onto the card mask and cut out. I also cut out the butterfly image and adhered it to the front of the card with That's Crafty! Multi Purpose Craft Adhesive. Finally I tucked the Wanderlust word plaque behind, again sticking it to the aperture. 

A quick but effective project! There are so many elements to these new Grunge stamps, so do take a look.
