Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps August Skrappy Challenge - ATC Tutorial!

Good morning krafty friends!

It's August, and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Here's a quick little tutorial on how I created my project for this month's Skrappy Challenge! 

1. I used the Lots Of Love Stencil and sprayed through using Distress and Dylusions Mists. I used Vicki Boutin's Foundations paper, which is a great base when you're doing any mixed media! You can see where I sprayed through the stencil and then flipped it over and layed the stencil face down for both positive and negative effects.

2. Next, after the sprays dried, I added ink sponging with the Magical Mosaic Stencil and Luscious Lemon, Ocean Opulence and Lavish Lilacs Inks in various areas around the page.

3. I splattered black Distress Oxide Spray over the background. You do need to be really sure this is dry before moving onto the next step! I used a heat gun.

4. I stamped sentiments from the Butterfly Dreams Stamp Set after cutting the background into 2.5 x 3.5" rectangles for an ATC size. I used Gorgeous Grape, Festive Fuchsia and Sparkling Sapphire Inks.

5. I added some sparkle with Stickles Glitter Paste and the polka dot pattern in the Pattern Parade Stencil.

6. I stamped the gorgeous butterflies from the Butterfly Dreams Stamp Set with Nuvo Embossing Ink and then with Wicked Black Ink on a stamping platform before heat embossing with WOW Wanderlust powder for a sparkly effect.

7. I fussy cut the butterflies and then glued them to the background in the center of the butterfly, over a circle of gold metallic thread, leaving the wings unattached. 

8. I added gold flat sequins & small butterfly sequins.

9. I finished it off with sentiment strips cut from Tim Holtz stickers and drawn stitched lines using a black pen.
