Hi everyone, I hope Christmas was a happy time for you and that 2023 is a good year for all of us.
It's been a hectic topsy turvy year here so I hope it all settles down next year lol!
I managed to get some time in my craft room and had a play with this impresslit butterfly and some waxes to colour it. I added some gilded foundry wax as highlights and heat set it to bring out the shine.(I added the antennae from a Memory Box butterfly die!)
The background is also embossed and the diecut sentiment was inked with versamark and embossed with aged black embossing powder.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Supplies:
Sizzix 3D butterfly impresslit; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; Darice crackle embossing folder;
Art Alchemy antique brilliance wax in red amber; Ranger foundry wax-gilded; versamark ink and Frantage aged black embossing enamel; happy sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

This is really beautiful Cathy and I love the look of the wax with the red tone underneath and the gold tone over the top which highlights it so prettily, and it looks great over the crackle embossing in the background, also the aged look to the heat embossed sentiment adds even more interest. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and that life is calmer for you in 2023. I look forward to visiting you then and thank you for all your visits to my blog which I really appreciate. x
This is beautiful with the waxing. HAppy New Year to you. Hugs Mrs A.
This butterfly is gorgeous. The foundry wax just shines so beautifully.

Beautiful birthday card. I'm loving the textures and dimensions. Super clever idea to mix the dies (to add the antennae). Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Birthday Challenge.

Cathy your card is a perfect example of wet and dry embossing. Thank you for joining in Bizzy Bec's Blog Challenge and good luck. Gail DT
Gorgeous card and the two types of embossing look pretty amazing as well. The shine of the embossing and the waxes really stands out! Thank you for sharing this card with us at the Happy Little Stampers Anything goes with Dies challenge!
