i decided to break out some of my favourite Tim stamps...and combine them with these lovely butterflies by Inkadinkado...i don't often do butterflies...his Nibs is not a fan...but i really like these ones...so he'll just have to lump it! lol
actually, its totally for me this project...its a CD sleeve for all my favourite *empowering* songs...things that make me happy, set me free, chill me out...and let my spirit fly...
i hope the close up will show you that i've distress inked, stamped, over stamped and stamped some more to create depth of field {see what i've done there...it being like a *field* an all...muahaahah}...i've also added detail with both Sakura Glaze and Souffle pens and then finally applied Rock Candy Distress Paint over the whole thing to seal it and create a gorgeous crackle effect.
as with all good crafters...i have my share of disasters too...and you see the crumbs on the bird table here..? that is the FIL's Birthday carrot cake...a total disaster...not even the birds are eating it...maybe they don't like vegetables, either?? hey ho...at least he knew i'd made the effort...but if anyone out there has a good recipe for carrot cake to share...please let me know!!
