Visible Image Butterfly Stamp, Distress Oxide Inks and a Tim Holtz Stencil = A Birthday Card for Archie!

Hello - I've been playing with Distress Oxide Inks today

whilst trying to create a birthday card

for my friend Elaine. (aka Archie)

Don't look at the picture Archie... !

I've used the reverse, white side, of Centura Pearl card.

A Tim Holtz Stencil 'Shatter' along with some

DecoArt Media Crackle Paste.

Faded Jeans, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves

and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks

Plus, one of my favourite stamps from Visible Image

the Butterfly from the 'Live Life Now' set

and Black Archival ink.

I wanted a sort of abstract 'look'!

So, after the paste was dry I squished the inks

onto my mat then dabbed, painted

and dribbled the inks onto my cardstock,

along with a little water until I was happy

with the result before

Stamping the Butterfly image twice to finish.

The friend stamp is from my stash.

Thanks for looking today.

Back soon .

Happy Birthday for the 28th Archie!
