A last minute make for Crafty Individuals

Hello lovelies!!! How are you???? Well the decorating is almost complete - just the tidying up bits to do - and I have managed to build a third of Penny's bed. Its going to get a bit more tricky from here on in but i shall try my best!!!! More news tomorrow I hope.

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!


Big hugs to you and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs

  13. This is fabulous. Loving the script over the alcohol background, and the butterflies are gorgeous. I liked the gold border with the autumn tones of the alcohol inks. Good luck with the bed assembly. TFS
