Things With Wings



The new challenge at Try it on Tuesdays this fortnight is Things with Wings.   I've been very predictable and chosen Butterflies as I wanted to use this butterfly that I'd inked up a couple of weeks ago.

I've used it  with a frame I'd made from the postage die with a hand cut aperture, this had been given a coat of Rock Candy Crackle.  The insert of the frame is a piece of co-ordinations, embossed with the 3D Botanical EF, sanded and distressed with Antique Linen oxide ink.  The sentiment is from an old Lost Coast stamp.

The rest of the Design Team have some fabulous inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will also find all the challenge details.

I am entering this at

Thanks for calling in,
Avril xx
