Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!
So glad you are here today as we start a brand new challenge: Birds or Bugs or Winged Things. So many choices - which will you choose?
This card features the Butterfly Square stamp from Carmen's Veranda and one of the butterfly stamps from the Butterfly Set over at Lost Coast Designs. The background is a piece of decorative rice paper layered over a piece of vintage text and sealed with Modge Podge. I stamped a couple of butterflies to the rice paper using black ink - this step was done before I sealed it. I then edged the panel with gold ink.
The Butterfly Square was heat embossed onto white water color paper using gold embossing powder. I then trimmed it into a neat square shape and edged it with gold ink. I then took two different Tim Holtz Distress Spray Inks - one aqua and one green - sprayed them on my craft mat individually, added water to both, and painted the background with a paint brush, using the inks like water colors.
I mounted this to a black square and affixed it to the center of my background panel with foam tape.
