Things with Wings

Hi everyone! 

 Over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges today we are focusing on...

Things with Wings...

 I had just bought a wonderful dragonfly stamp set when I found out about this challenge - how lucky!!!

    So straight away I went to have a play with inks....

I had also finally managed to get hold of one of my favourite stencils too - so that had to come into the playtime as well...

I dabbed some of my favourite distress inks over the stencil - Mown Lawn, Shaded Lilac, Evergreen Bough and Tumbled Grass. Then I spritzed with water and pressed some white card down on the inky stencil.

I left it to dry and then began to blend some more inks over the card. I used mainly Mown Lawn, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac for this...

Then I stamped some of the dragonfly stamps over the card using Mown Lawn and Tumbled Glass..

 I also went for an archival ink to add a vivid layer of stamping - for this I went for Cornflower Blue.

I diluted some white paint and splattered it over the card - hard to see in this photo, but it is there!-

  

  I edged the card with a little Black Soot DI and stuck it onto a card.

 I swirled some Distress stains onto the craft mat - I used Evergreen Bough, Shabby Shutters and Dusty Concord. I swirled some white card in this and left it to dry. When dry I stamped a picture of a dragonfly in Jet Black Archival ink. 

    I painted the wings with Decoart Turquoise Interference paint (sadly doesn't show up too well in the photo)

    I used sticky pads to raise the dragonfly up off the card.

I used pale green gems for the eyes....

I used a silver tag with the word 'Journey' on it.

  And there is my 'Things with Wings' card....Hope you like it!

I hope you will come over to Fashionable Stamping Challenges to see what the rest of the team has made to inspire you!
