Mixed Media






I have created this card for the new challenge that started today over at
CAS colours & Sketches and the Mixed media Challenge at Happy Little Stampers

The picture makes the butterfly look pink but it is in fact pale lilac, I used Milled lavender distress ink.

I started by making a spray from acrylic paint and then misting a piece of white cardstock, then I used a stitched rectangle die to create my panel.  

The butterfly was created by stamping in purple ink first and then again in clear and adding some clear embossing powder and heat embossing.  I then inked up the white bits with some Milled Lavender distress ink.

I added some metallic silver thread under my butterfly and then mounted with some foam pads.
My sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers Mix Mash set stamped in purple ink.

I am also linking this into the current

    Love the detail on that butterfly - it looks very much like one made by IndigoBlu, one of my favourite stamp companies. Thanks for sharing it with us at CC&S this week. Stef x
