This card was another one of my Mum's Birthday cards, but this one was for my Dad to give to her :D He requested a larger card than I usually make, and said I could do whatever I liked, so I had a blast messing around with Dyna paints, Gesso and my Gansai Tambi Starry Night colours too :D Oh, and some Paper Artsy stencils which I got when I was at Ally Pally a few weeks ago :D My original idea was that the heat embossed buterflies would resist the Dyna paint, however I wasn't quick enough, and it dried on top before I had the chance to wipe it off... so, I carried on with my background, then I used the iron off technique, this way the butterflies appeared again as I re-melted the embossing powder with an iron and pulled it off with some scrap paper! I LOVE this technique, but am often too lazy to go downstairs and use my iron, but now I have this dinky little craft iron from Stix2, it's so much easier :D :D :D Hope you liked the card :D
