Visible Image - Wings of Change

 

Hey, Visible Image fans!  For my DT blog post today I've chosen the beautiful Wings of Change stamp set.

I stamped all the butterfly images on white card and watercoloured them with Salvaged Patina and Wild Honey Distress inks, then fussy cut them.  I also smooshed some card in the same colours, using mainly the Salvaged Patina.

Using the smooshed panel and some linen-effect card, I diecut the background frames using an Aall And Create die.

For my base card, I used the Ripped Fishnet stencil as a stamp by inking it with Lost Shadow Distress ink, then laying it onto my base card and pressing down with a paper towel to give a subtle background.

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card, matted onto black card, highlighted the words 'begin' and 'again', and adhered the smallest butterfly in the top left corner.

Originally I was going to use the two large and one medium butterfly, but I preferred the impact of just one large butterfly placed on the large pool of colour.

I love the grunge detail on this butterfly:

The use of the blue on the words highlights them without clashing with the design.

And I've still got some butterflies left over for future card makes - win, win!

Pop on over to the Visible Image website for these and other incredible stamps, dies and stencils.
