Vintage Butterfly

Hi everyone, today I would like to share a vintage style card I made when I was in an olde worlde kind of mood, and keen to use one of the vintage style pen nibs I recently picked up in a local art supplies shop. 

I cut a piece of white stamping card 6.5” x 4.5” and created a smoosh background with three colours of Distress Oxide inks. I stamped the main image in Pinecone Versafine Clair, then blended more DOX round the edge of the panel to give a more vintage look. I stamped the butterfly again onto separate card and heat embossed, coloured with more DOX, fussy cut and attached. I stamped the birds and quills onto separate card, coloured, fussy cut and attached, then stamped, coloured and attached my sentiment words. I matted and layered everything onto chocolate brown and aqua card stock, and finally added a vintage style pen nib for the butterfly body, and Glossy Accents to the pen nibs.

Here is an angled picture to show the dimension.

Stamps: AALL & Create #449 Through the Meadows, #908 Quill Ends, #533 Bring On the Sentiments;
