Waxes and a 3D embossed butterfly

 

Hi everyone, I've had another play with this impresslit butterfly and changed a few things from the last make.

I diecut it from black cardstock and rubbed on just the blue and purple art alchemy wax pastes.

I added some statue foundry wax as highlights and heat set it to bring out the shine.

(Again, I added the antennae from a Memory Box butterfly die.)

The background was sprayed with oxides in dusty concord and salvaged patina with a spritz of spray stain in antique linen. To finish I blended in some vintage photo distress ink around the edge then spattered on some rich espresso metallic paint.

The sentiment die was inked with versamark and embossed with Lindy's midnight bronze embossing powder this time.

I think I like this bronze version better as the butterfly is more vibrant!

Here's a closer look at the shine
