WF16-Neg--MB Reverse Butterfly Collage
|
I started this for my challenge on Artsy Inkers, Negativity at Its Best. The idea was to use a negative die-cut on a card. This one barely qualifies because the die really doesn't have a positive side to it. The only thing that is left over after die cutting the image are a lot of teeny tiny pieces that fall out of the butterfly--hardly a positive die-cut.
Card:
4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock, 110 lb. (card base)
G-Rated Rubber Stamps Textured Glossy Cardstock (die cut)
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, 90-lb. cardstock (painted)
Creatology Foam Sheet (die cut and used as foam mounting)
Twinkling H2O's (Rose Gold, Orange Peel, Dreamsicle, Celestial Sun)
Swarovski Rhinestones, SS12, SS16, and SS20
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Ruler (for paper piercing)
First, I painted a piece of cardstock with TH2O's and set it aside to dry.
Then I die cut the image out of the textured glossy cardstock. I also die cut the foam and cut out all the inside parts of the butterfly. I attached the two die-cuts with Zig Glue Pen.
I mounted the die-cuts on the painted cardstock, trimmed everything together, and mounted it onto a heavy-weight card base.
I attached the Swarovski rhinestones with Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I weighted those down and left them to dry.
I thought the card was finished, but I felt that it needed something more. I used the Tim Holtz Ruler that has a row of holes along the edge as a guide for paper piercing a border around the edges. Since I'd used a foam cushion behind the die-cut piece, that worked great, and the piercer didn't go through the heavy-weight cardstock.
