I used a Wendy Vecchi Stencil and embossing paste, before spraying Speckled Egg and Antique Linen Oxide inks on the background, some script stamping with Speckled Egg DI and then used the TH rose stencil with Spun Sugar and Bundled Sage inks. My butterfly was heat embossed using Oxidised Iron Embossing Powder and also the frame, which I'd originally embossed with copper EP, was also given a coat of the Oxidised powder. It's backed with scrap card left over from the base, and adhered over some pink and white threads.
The rest of the team have some fabulous inspiration, so please pop over to the main blog.
