Use Your Wings Card

 Hello Everybody!

Happy Summer so far! I created this card for a graduation-I am a little late-but better late than never!  So this is for my cousin :) Yay! And it's not a traditional cap and gown but I think that's ok.

I used:

Tim Holtz Silver Cardstock (background)

Sticky Sheet

Finnabair Fine Metallic Flakes-Dublin

Air Dry Clay and Mould from Finnabair for the butterfly

Tim Holtz Quote Chip

Tim Holtz Sterling Foundry Wax

Finnabair Peacock Wax

Brads

So I was watching a Sizzix video and Pete talked about using metallic flakes with an adhesive sheet-and that is what I did for the pretty green/blue/silver panel. He embosses his but I couldn't. At least not this time around-I just thought it was gorgeous. I also sealed it with modge podge so it doesn't rub off too bad if someone touches it.

The clay butterfly-I just directed applied the foundry wax-little by little and as I rewatched Tim's video so I did it correctly).  When the butterfly was all silver I then added the peacock wax over the highlights.

I used my crop-a-dile to make holes in the quote chip and I put some brads to make it look more finished since I didn't ink it or anything.

I used glossy accents to glue the butterfly and chip quote.

I am linking this to The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog: Stuck in the Middle.  The butterfly and sentiment are in the middle :)
