Hi my blog friends, lovely to have you stop by to see my
latest DT post for A Vintage Journey. For the month of July my super talented
Teamie Anne has chosen the challenge Things with Wings. Please pop over to the blog
HERE to see what the rest of my team mates have been making.
My daughter recently brought me back some MDF shapes from
America and with all the excitement of working with them I forgot to take some on going
photos OOPS ! The outside of my frame was painted with a mix of Deco Art and
Tim Holtz paints and crackles then adding some gilding wax.
My paper was swiped through Distress Stains drying in
between each layer.
Using some of Tim's Flourish stamps with Picket
Fence Distress paint I then stamped my stained paper.
My inner frame was painted black and some gilding wax
added.
My Sizzix Butterfly was cut out in Vellum Twice and run through my
embossing folder. I then dripped Alcohol Inks onto it and added a little
Distress Stickles to the edges. Finally mounting onto my frame with some
jewellery findings.
My sentiment was stamped with Black Archival ink.
Well I hope I have managed to inspire you to join in this
months challenge. The winner will receive
a £20 Shopping Spree at Countryview Crafts where you will find a fab
selection of Tim's goodies.
Thanks for stopping by today,
Breathtaking creation Julie!!! I love that rustic frame and stunning butterfly nested in it!
