The Stamp Man Challenge - Shabby Chic or Distressed

Once again there is a great challenge at The Stamp Man Challenges, this time it is Shabby Chic or Distressed.

For my card I used a wonderful stamp set from Artemio, don't you just love the butterfly! I used Versamark Watermark to create a resist technique with the postcard stamp and coloured the background using various Tim Holtz distress Inks.

For the butterfly I did something different. I coloured a piece of Calico fabric using the same Tim Holtz Distress Inks, stamped the butterfly on top using Stazon Ink and then cut the butterfly out. Before I added it to the card I attached a piece of adhesive foil tape on the back, that way I can bend it any way I want and make the butterfly more dimensional. For embellishments I punched out some daisy flowers and leaves and added some bling. The text I created on my computer.

Materials I used are;
Artemio Clear Stamp Set - Butterfly Collage
Stampendous Embossing Powder - Clear
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad - Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Fired Brick, Vintage Photo
VersaMark - Watermark Ink Pad
