Antiqued Butterfly...

As you probably know from reading my blog that I'm a Technique Junkie...  that is, I get the Technique Junkies Newsletter and LOVE it!   This technique comes from the most recent newsletter and is called "Antique Wallpaper".  I used a Cuttlebug folder to create a texture on the ivory cardstock but, by the time I was done, there was NO texture on the cardstock.  That's the idea.  Anyway, I again used one of TAC's new stamps, Give Praise to Him.


I'm not going to give away how I did this but if you decide to purchase the newsletter I'd appreciate you giving my name as a reference.  There is a link embedded in the TJ logo in my sidebar to check it out.



Here's a close up of the background.  I used Burnt Umber and Raw Sienna PH inks and some oval cutters. This is a small card, 4 1/4" square.  I used the Stardust Clear Gel pen on the butterfly's antenna.  Really cool in real life!

Thisis just beautiful - I too am a technique junkie but haven't had a chance to try anything from the new issue - this one one of my favs in the newsletters. You did a great job.
