My Mutant Monarch


Hello everyone! I have made another wall hanging, this time with two challenges in mind;  the very first hosted by EyeConnect Crafts - theme is "Butterflies",  and the other one at Norwegian blog Hjerteboden - theme is "Feathers".

 My Mutant Monarch - is it a butterfly or is it a king? It's both!

Some close-ups:


The "king" (or paper doll stamp) is mounted on the tag with foam dots 
and the butterfly wings are bent up and curled.


The real Monarch Butterfly has white dots on its wings, but I went with Glitter Dots in pink and blue:


KING was spelled with some miniature alphabet stamps (manufacturer unknown).
They are stamped flat and made to look raised up by painting some shadow on two sides:



Below is the Lace-Up Tag chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts before I added a thin layer of Gesso, then Distress inks in several colours. Notice on the photo above that I added lines with Copper Stickles around the holes so they match with the copper wire attached to holes and feathers.




Stamps used (all from Rubber Dance):


Paper Doll, Crown and Scripture from "ATC Backgrounds 1".

Butterfly Girl from "Fly With Me". Spiral from "Round in Circles".

  
Other products:
Glitter Dots from Elizabeth Craft Design
Stickles and Distress inks from Ranger.com
White Feathers, Copper Wire, Watercolour Paper.


So, there you have it. My second wall hanging this year.
(You can see my first one here)



I'm entering my Mutant Monarch to these two fine challenges:

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but
