Tim Holtz Papillion Butterflies Card with Vintage Feel

When I get out the supplies to try a new technique I make generally make multiples.  Tuesday I talked about the technique I used on this card.  Making multiples doesn't always mean making identical cards.  It means making parts for future cards like today's card.  This the same technique and same colors as Tuesday's, but the card has a different look and feel.  If you missed Tuesday's post you can check it out here and learn more about the technique I used.

For this one I used the Deckle dies to cut my butterfly panel and inked the edges with Antique linen.  To add texture I used Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and Ledger Script to stamp over the butterflies.  The faded "skipity bits" as Tim Holtz says were achieved with by using the stamp without a block or stamp press, and pressing the stamp to paper with my fingertips.  It's a technique many mixed media artists use to acheave some really  unique texture and interest to projects.

From my stash I pulled some black brads and a random word sticker.  Then I cut a panel from buff cardstock and used the Polka Dots cover plate from Concord & 9th.  The buff panel was trimmed down to a 5 1/4 x 4 inch panel and then matted with black cardstock.   I used collage medium to add the butterflies panel to the buff panel.  To complete the card I adhered the stacked panel to a buff card base.
