I had another play with the Oxide inks, this time blending onto a piece of black card, the colours are very subtle but give a lovely chalky look. I applied embossing paste through a stencil and left it to dry naturally and the paste absorbed the colours of the Oxide inks.
As I wanted to enter the challenge at Tag Tuesday where the theme is Things with Wings - but not birds, I stamped a butterfly on a Tyvek sheet that I'd used in my 'spray box'. Next I stamped and gold embossed the just the center of the butterfly onto the tag to give me the antenna. The sentiment was masked letting me stamp the one word, which I clear embossed.
Thanks for calling in and I hope you all have a lovely Easter.
