Today I have a
simple, small card to share using Distress Oxides and paints and a That’s
Crafty! greyboard butterfly (from the Bits and Pieces Large Butterfly Sheet).
My background is
created by building up layers of Distress Oxides. Take one colour and place
some on a craft mat, spritz with water and lay the card in it. Dry between
layers and repeat. I used Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo and Broken China. I
added a little extra blue through a Dinky stencil (TC068) and spritzed again.
Finally I added a little Blueprint Sketch Distress ink around the edges.
I took one of the
greyboard butterflies and gave a coat of white gesso. Once dry I added some
Distress Crazing Medium and allowed to dry. As I ended up adding paint next you
can’t really see the subtle cracks but hopefully some of the texture. I then
used Blueprint Sketch and Work lipstick Distress paints before adding a little
embellishment from my stash.
