Shabby Butterfly

 Hello Everyone,

For today I am playing along with AAA Birthday and Freshly Made Sketches. This is not my usual style but I was so inspired on YouTube watching Bibi Cameron's video on Oxide Sprayed Embossing technique. I thought I would give it a try. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

Bibi's video really got me inspired to try this but in a different way. I don't have Oxide spray inks and when I tried using glossy photo paper it got so sticky! I couldn't handle it. So I tried my own version with DI spray and direct application of OI on an embossing folder. 

I applied OI directly to the 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die-cut machine. The impression and color transfer were amazing. I could have stopped right there but no, I went farther because of Bibi. I sprayed DI directly on the embossed image using pinks and browns. I applied OI directly to the paper using the same colors. 

The butterfly was created using the exact same process as the card base. The circle and ferns do a good job differentiating the base from the base and object. The use of twine for the body and antenna was also from Bibi's idea.
