Saturday Showcase

Hi Everyone, Tera Here. This is my first Saturday Showcase for the Funkie Junkie Boutique! I wanted to showcase a project using some of my favorite things... Stamps and Inks/Sprays! If you don't already know me, I am a rubber stamp addict! I also love bugs and grungy vintage things. Naturally I combined those to make a super cute and easy A2 card that you can use for any occasion!


To start I used a pale greenish white piece of cardstock from my stash. I stamped the type background in speckled egg distress ink. After drying that with my heat tool, I then used one of the large layering stencils (THS143) with an embossing dabber to apply a thin layer of embossing liquid through the stencil. The embossing powder/glaze I used was "fossilized amber"


I forgot to take a picture after I inked around the edges... I used the speckled egg, and walnut stain to add more grungy goodness like you see above.


On a separate piece of paper I stamped one of the butterflies from the specimen set in black soot archival ink. 


Before cutting it out I used the spray stains above to color my image. After I cut it i used walnut stain distress ink again to ink the edges.


Before gluing my butterfly down I added the specimen stamp and some stitches to finish off the background.


For the card base I used an ultra dark brown piece of cardstock (It's almost black). 


I hope you liked this little inspiration!!!
