On Textured Wings

For this card I started with white cardstock to create a panel to work on. This measures 4 5/8 X 5 7/8.

Next...The fun of mixing colors with texture paste to create magic!

Start by adding a small amount of Media Paste to a palette or glass mat. I do this using a palette knife. I also keep baby wipes handy to wipe off the excess before mixing my next color.

Add a few drops of Aqua Pigment in the color chosen to the paste and mix it with the paste.

If your paste becomes thin just add a bit more of the paste into your mixture and stir again.

I have used the following Aqua Pigments to make my pastes for this card:

There are so many beautiful colors of Aqua Pigments available! The possibilities are endless. They are also available in metallics for that extra sparkle!

Next I created the background panel by using my tinted pastes through my stencil.

I used the Butterfly Wings Die Cutting Set to make my butterfly. I used black cardstock for the solid die and a newsprint paper for my main die. These were connected with adhesive applied just to the middle portion. For my sentiment "Thanks" I have used the Extra Sentimental stamp set with Raven Detail Ink. 

Assembly....

The stenciled panel was adhered to a black card base leaving  some of the black as a border. Next the black strip and white stamped strip were added to the middle. The butterfly was adhered at an angle.

This was such a fun way to create texture!

Thanks so much for visiting the blog and viewing my project today! As always have an amazing crafty day!
