Sally CT - Magnificent Moths

  Hi There! I have changed my blog day for Bee Crafty so I will be here with my crafty contributions every Saturday now. I have been really enjoying creating with a vintage vibe so this week I made a card. Here's how I did it.  

I began by spraying a piece of mixed media card with Distress oxide sprays in Prize Ribbon, Wild Honey and squeezed lemonade. 

Once it was dry, I stamped the ledger stamp in memento Toffee crunch all over the dry oxide background (Tea Dye distress ink would be equally as good)

Next I attached the damask template and applied distress crackle texture paste through it. 

When this had dried, I added some distressed diamonds in vintage photo distress oxide ink through the dinkable 

I stamped 3 moths from the dragonfly set down the right hand side. 

I stamped, coloured with ecolines, and cut out 3 more moths. These were stuck over the ones on the card with collage medium attached by the bodies only.

I added a stamped sentiment and attached to a 6x6" card. 

here is the finished card again. 

I used:

15x15cm card

14x14cm of mixed media card

Distress oxide sprays in Prize Ribbon, Wild Honey and squeezed lemonade

Ledger, inkwell and nibs stamp set

Before I go, here are some ATCs that I made. Three of them were made during Wednesday Night's live over on the Bee Crafty facebook page. I will be doing fortnightly lives, so the next one from me will be on 23rd March at 8 pm. 

Thanks for looking!
