Welcome to another exciting Thursday release for Emerald Creek!! I never knew I'd love Thursdays so much, maybe even more than Fridays!! Bring on the B's...brads, buttons, buckles! I had fun using some of my favorite b's and trying out some new toys I got!
 |
| I started with 2 5X5 white canvasses and got the background using Distress Sprays in Tea Dye, Vintage Photo and Antiqued Bronze. Once it was dried I covered it in the Crazing Distress Collage Medium. I love the effect I got from that, it could be my new favorite thing!! :) For my brick walls I used the Mixed Media #3 Thinlits die. I took the cut out part and attached it to the bottom right corner after I embossed it in Burnt Copper Leaves, I then took the little bits that were cut out and glued them all individually on the top left. |
 |
| Used my oh so versatile button brads and embossed them with the Burnt Copper Leaves |
 |
| Took some cardstock bits and ran them through using the Tim Holtz Festive Greenery Die and then embossed those bits with my Vintage Ivy Embossing Powder. |
 |
| The button brads make the perfect flower center! And I then used Distress Paint in Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso over green alcohol ink for my flower charm. |
 |
| Used a Distress crayon to quickly color around the edges of my fearless buckle. My butterfly is made with the butterfly thinlits. The top layer is embossed in Dusk Stone Violet and Frosted Plum embossing powder and then a quick swipe of ground espresso paint to finish it off. The bottom layer is a scrapbook paper scrap and painted with distess crayons and then misted with Wendy Vecchi Mica Spray in Buttercup. |

| Just love the crazing medium and the textured look it adds |

ReplyDeleteThat is a great tag. It immediately caught my eye when I was looking at this month's Anything but Cute challenge. It's beautiful without being cute. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning!!! Love your brick background, what an amazing backdrop for your gorgeous butterflies! This seems like one of those tags that you just can't completely capture properly with a camera! All the embossing powders and metallics, what a glorious piece!!
