Try it on Tuesday - They Who Have Wings

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to another challenge starting over at Try it on Tuesday. This time around our theme is another favourite of mine - THEY WHO HAVE WINGS. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I decided I wanted to try and make a card without using a single Tim Holtz product, so this entire card was done using DecoArt paints and Copic markers. Sorry Tim, had to be done!



The background was painted with DecoArt Crafter's Acrylics Cherry Blossom, Turquoise, Lavender and Tropical Blue.  I blended them together with water and splashed a little Americana Titanium on the top.


The brick layer was done with home made texture paste and a home made brick stencil. I painted it with DecoArt Americana Acrylics Hauser Green and Avocado. I dabbed a little Titanium White on the top.


I coloured the ribbon with DecoArt paints as well. The butterfly is made from crafter's clay and a Martha Stewart mold. I painted it green and highlighted it with white paint.


The border vine stamp is from Kaisercraft and so are the butterflies. The script stamp is from BoBunny. All the stamping was done with Ranger Archival ink Jet Black. The butterflies were coloured with Copic markers. The two back layers were coloured using watered down versions of the same colours of paints.



 The flowers are made of two stamps from the LaBlanche Rosebuds set. I masked and stamped them several times to create a bouquet. I coloured the flowers with a white pencil crayon, and touched them up with Titanium White and Avocado paints.





I am entering my DecoArt card into the following wonderful challenges:

(this time of year, my butterfly stamps get used more than anything else - and this one is my favourite)


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Beautiful! Yay, texture paste! I am impressed that you made the brick stencil, and that you made a mask for that detailed flower stamp. The way you faded the colors is so pretty, too. Love this!

    Wow, Pamellia, you may have left our friend Tim out of the equation, but his addition certainly won't be missed on this occasion. Your card is stunning (as always), with so many wonderful details. I love every element, but that brick wall really 'grabbed ' me, and the threaded beads are a cute addition.

    Thank you for your words of encouragement...they mean such a lot to this little bunny with her 'L' plates in the world of mixed media.

    Yes, yes, yes and YES!!! I know I'm sounding rather orgasmic here, BUT...I freaking LOVE this!!! It's truly refreshing to read the word 'homemade' in any post. Despite the fact that all of TH products are fabulous as well as so many others, it's so great to know that even the most advanced artists still go 'old school' and create with handmade makes. Your creation is just stunning and I wish you the best of luck in all your challenges. :)

    BREATHTAKING!!!! Pamellia, could it be I have a new Pam favorite here??? Every detail is just amazing...the masonry is perfect, the coloring on your background is true artistry, the butterflies so pretty and delicate. And you made the stencil yourself? Wow! I sure could use that for a little garden project I am working on! Sorry, I'm late to the party! I actually viewed this earlier, but got side tracked when I went looking for this crafter's clay you speak of; is that Martha Stewart? Must get some, because my paper clay always curls up, so I have a bunch of expensive trash when I'm done! Great card, and if you should save it for a certain January birthday, I'm sure it would be very well received! Big hugs!
