' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Weird or What

Wednesday, 6 July 2016

Weird or What

And the choice was... Weird. I'm of course talking about the latest Dictionary challenge at the Craft Barn, where the letter is W.
My word suggested itself when I saw the Dream in Darkness challenge who goes for anything Quirky, Weird, Odd or Dark.

I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted to do with the zip stamp I bought recently from The Artistic Stamper and it was weird...

The Butterflies in the zip opening are by Crafty Individual (CI-231), which I inked with dry Brushos and sprayed with water for stamping. [I now have a considerable number of cardstock odds and ends full of butterflies as the Brushos give a large number of impressions]
The rest of the stamping is the Collage BIGZ by Katzelkraft inked in Versafine black.
For colours I added a mix of inks with Distress foam.

And for final touches, the printed dictionary definition and the letter W, a die-cut (Die-namics alphabet).

Thanks for coming by,
I am also entering the The Artistic Stamper, Sandy & Amelie Steampunk, Craft Barn (Butterflies), Penny Black and more challenges

    This is gorgeous, Christine! I have never tried doing that technique with the Brushos (or Infusions I guess?) - the Butterflies look terrific and I would love to try that!

    Great piece of art and I was going to say not weird at all....but then why would butterflies be coming through a zip in a clock. Definitely Weird!!

    Ooh, I am liking this weirdness. That zip stamp is very different. I have never tried dry brusho stamping, this is intriguing, your butterflies look very rich. All together a beautiful piece of art.
