Sin City Design Team Project

By WildHeart Art

I have always loved butterflies with the beautiful colors in their wings as well as the transparent colors in stained glass artwork so I decided to check out my "stash" for this design team project and try to incorporate them both together. I love the outcome and it was a very fun and easy project to do!

~Supplies~

Journal page

Gesso

Glass Bead Gel

Fine glitter

Alcohol inks

Dylusions Ink Sprays

Prima Color Bloom Spray

Black ink pad

Blue acrylic paint

Sin City Butterfly Die Cuts

Sin City Stamps Art- Journaling with Terri

Sin City Stamp- Words of Butterfly

1) Gesso your art journal page and let dry.

2) Spray randomly with the ink sprays and let dry.

3)Apply the butterfly die cuts and using bead gel medium and a palate knife, spread the bead gel medium over the die cut to cover, in a very thin layer. Sprinkle some fine glitter over the butterflies and let dry.

4) When dried add the alcohol inks by drops onto the wings and body randomly to emulate the beautiful colors on the wings.

5) Using the swirl stamps in the Terri Sproul Art Journal stamp set, apply the stamps here and there with black ink. Then using the butterfly stamp to stamp in the middle right of the page.

As you can here in the close up of the wing the bead gel and glitter give it that texture and the alcohol colors give it that lovely transparent color.
