Inky Butterflies - Craft Mojo DT

Hello everyone... I'm back with my 2nd post for today, my DT card for Craft Mojo.

This one's a little bit different for me - I don't often get properly inky, although I do enjoy it... my hands were quite purple by the time it was finished!


I used Shaded Lilac and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks to make the background.  If you've never done this before it's very easy (but quite messy!)... just splodge the inks onto a craft mat, spray with water, wipe a piece of white card in the puddles and then dry it with a heat gun... I usually repeat this a couple of times until I'm happy with the result, so you need fairly thick card that will cope with the water and heat.

I added some spots using the border stamp from the Doodle Flowers set by Jane's Doodles in Hero Arts Soft Purple ink and the butterflies are from another Jane's Doodles set - the largest one is stamped on the background, and then stamped again and cut out so I could pop the wings up.

Off for a little catch up with your blogs now... hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

    Hi, thanks Lisa for your comment. Love this card and it is very different to your usual style but beautiful just the same. Sometimes it's good to let loose the messy crafting and see what happens.

    I love that ink water splot background! I don't think you'll catch me trying something like this though. I shy away from the messy stuff. I adore this card and its happy purple-ness though.
