Time to take flight at Stamps and stencils

Good morning! How are you? I hope you are well and happy! Today its time for a new challenge to start over at stamps and stencils and the theme is time to take flight. Here's what Sue had to say about this challenge.

For this challenge I would like to see anything relating to flying, so this could be a bird or a butterfly or it could be an inspirational quote that includes words relating to flying ! As always, please remember we are a mixed media challenge and you must include either stamping or stenciling or both !

I had just been asked by a friend to make a card for her so I used the theme from tis piece of work! Here's my final piece and I have a step by step below.

Here's my steps ....

Firstly I spread grunge paste through n indigo blu stencil....

once dry I painted with aladdin metallic paint from indigo blu ...

Next I stamped and coloured an indigoblu dinkie butterfly and coloured in watered down cottage paints and fussy cut them.

Next I used distress stains to create a background...

I used a TH die and embossing folder to cut three more butterflies and added clear candy crackle.

Once dry I added more stain which defined the crackle.

I added treasure gold to the roses ....

Then added a TH stamped sentiment and all the butterflies.

My friend was very pleased with the card! I hope you like it too and will join us in this months challenge.

Hugs
