Rise Above by Donna Gray

Hi everyone,


Donna here today using a really fab and unusual stamp from Rubber Dance.






What to do:


Take a sheet of Strathmore Mixed Media Paper and proceed to swoosh it through a mixture of the green, yellow and brown Distress Oxides, which have been diluted first.

Dry the background thoroughly and place to one side.

Now this is where the confession comes in as the figure was originally stamped and white embossed directly onto a tag that had been painted with a blue shade of Fresco paint. However, I messed the tag up but couldn’t bear to throw the whole thing away so I fussy cut the figure out.

Within my stash I had this pair of Tim Holtz die cut butterfly wings which were assembled from a Gelli print and black card and I thought….as you do….hey this figure needs wings!

Adhere the winged figure to the card, then taking one of Tim’s chipboard sentiment, swoosh it through a little orange colour Distress Oxide and then add another little sentiment at the top of the card.

Mount onto black card and then white cardstock.

A quirky card, oh yes indeed. By the way, does anyone else feel really reluctant to cover up a Oxides background too much?!


Supplies Used:


Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Chipboard Quote Chips and Metallic Quotations Stickers


Hope you like it

  2. A really unusual card Donna and love your oxide background which contrasts perfectly with the winged figure.
    Know what you mean about covering up oxide backgrounds too as I still can't bear to do anything with the first one I made!
