Wings and Things - Heidi Green

 Good morning, Heidi here to share a blog project with you today and here it is.

 Hoping you managed to catch Di's shows on Hochanda last Monday. She introduced some wonderful grey board frames and insects to her collection.

I have made a hanging frame using them and some glorious papers I had left over from a project. 

Products Used :

Tando Plaques and Butterflies

DecoArt Media Paint, ' Titan Buff'

Tim Holtz, Distress Paint, Peeled Paint

Daily Art, Crackle Paint

Craft O'Clock papers and vellum pictures

That's Crafty, 'Lots of Words' stamp set

Tim Holtz, Dusky Concord Distress Oxide inkpad

Versafine 'Onyx Black' inkpad

Posca White Pen

Glue, craft file, Cropodile, white card scraps, green ribbon and heatgun.

Method :

I started off covering the butterfly top and plague holder with Tital Buff paint, left to dry and then lightly covered with the Peeled Paint.

Then using the beautiful papers, I covered the small and larger plaques and filed down the edges.

Tear edges of a vellum picture square, edge with purple ink and stick down to top of smaller plaque.

Cover edge of butterfly wings and holder with crackle paint, dry with heat gun. Cover bottom butterfly with Dusky Concord ink.

Stick smaller plaque down onto larger one centrally. Stick top of butterfly down onto base, slightly to the right, showing off the bottom layer. Add butterfly with strong glue at an angle to bottom of plaques,

Stamp up words of choice onto white card, edge with ink. Stick down onto plagues.

Using a hole punch or Crop-odile, make a hole to edges of larger plaque. Thread through ribbon and tie knots. Add Posca to edges.

Place holder through ribbon, your plaque is now ready to hang.

That's it for now, enjoy your weekend and more craft inspiration to follow from the DT next week.
