This is a card I made for 2 specific challenges: The Penny Black blog to use the colors red, cream, and gold....and also the Inspiration Journal challenge to use acrylic paint on a project.
I used the Penny Black stamp "butterfly ball" and stamped that using my Adirondack gold paint dabber. I also used the paint on the 2 small brads......they were metallic gold to begin with but I wanted them to match the butterflies exactly. The script stamp is by Hero Arts and was stamped using brushed corduroy distress ink and the embossed red panel is by Stampin Up. I like the way the paint has a little bit of dimension here giving the butterflies some texture.
I really had fun playing with the paint. My dabber was clogged up so I simply put some of the paint onto my non-stick craft sheet and used a small paint brush to layer it on the stamp. A little tearing and distressing around the edges of the paper and that's it. I left the front blank so you can add any sentiment you want on the inside.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great crafty day!
