Before we took delivery of the bed this afternoon i went up into the attic to make Tims tag for this month - I had to wait for my paste to dry so whilst that was happening i used two of the alcohol ink backgrounds I had created for the tag and made this card. I love the alcohol ink/ metallic mixative background - I think they look fab.
I've made this for my sister in law who has a birthday next week.
I stamped the script background from Crafty individuals onto the alcohol ink background using archival ink then repeated the process with a crafty indiviuals stamp containing butterflies which i then cut out.
I stuck the butterflies over the surface.
This stamp is from Tim Holtz. my favourite saying - I think I may have to make a canvas with the words on.....for me they are so very true!
I would like to enter this into the craftyindividualsblog new-challenge-anything-goes-in-september.
Big hugs to you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
