Good Evening
I want to share with you one of the samples I made for the January Claritystamp Show.
It used the butterfly and petals set and the petal stencil
I started off with a tag made out of artboard. I had some brown packing paper which I had saved and I scrunched up a piece then covered the tag with PVA glue and pushed it onto the paper. I then made sure the paper was stuck to the edges and I trimmed off the excess. I then left it to dry.
Next I used the petal stencil and some grunge paste and added some petals to the top and bottom corners. Once this was dry I used gilding wax and rubbed over the surface of the tag. This picked up the crinkles in the paper really well! I also rubbed the stencil petals with the gilding wax.
For the flowers I stamped and embossed 2 different petals 5 times each and the butterfly twice onto craft card. I cut these out then made 2 flowers and layered up the butterfly. I attached these to the tag and added a small metal dragon fly and a die cut flourish. A couple of self adhesive gems and a small sprig of pearl stems finished it off.
Made a change from just doing a card!
I hope you like it!
Happy Crafting!
I think this is just stunning and this is one technique I want to have a go at. I have even managed to find some brown packing paper to start with. Thank you for sharing the how to bits with us. xx Maggie
