Butterfly Plaque

Here is my latest DT piece for Gecko Galz. I used some of the fabulous March products.

 

Gecko Galz Images from Ephemera Days.

Gecko Galz Background Paper from the Pocket Full Of Posies Set.

Base For The Plaque.

Fresco Finish Paints - At Least Two Colours.

Fresco Finish Crackle Glaze.

Tissue Tape.

Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Artistic Stamper Rubber Stamps.

Stickles.

Wire.

Staples.

 

Print the butterfly image twice and cut out one of the butterflies, crop the butterfly out of the image and reduce the size and print it three times and cut them out. Cover the cut out butterflies with the stickles and leave to dry.

Paint the plaque base, when dry paint with the crackle glaze, when this is dry paint the plaque again with a different colour. When the paint starts cracking you can speed the drying with a heat gun.

Stamp the base with your chosen images then ink the edge of the base with the walnut stain.

Adhere the tissue tape.

Tear edges of the images and background paper, ink with walnut stain, staple parts of the images and then adhere to the plaque.

Wrap the wire round a cocktail stick to make the coils, adhere to the larger butterfly. Adhere the butterflies to the plaque.
