Spring floral card with yellow and pink blooms, a butterfly, and inspirational text on turquoise. Set against a pastel background.

Hello Lovelies! Okay, confession... when I tried this the first time IT DID NOT WORK! I'd seen Tim Holtz color with Distress Glaze in one of his product overview videos and I tried it. Let's just say my results were lackluster. So over a year later, I decided to try again.

This Floral stencil can be purchased alone, but a section of it is also included in the new Flutter Mixed Media Set and I made it the focal point for this Spring card. The flowers are stenciled first in Texture Paste and sprinkled with Distress Glaze over a watercolor background.

Yellow card with a gold butterfly and abstract patterns. Text reads "It's all perspective." Warm, artistic background. — Flutter Mixed Media Card

CARD HIGHLIGHTS

Place 3 drops of Cracked Pistachio ink onto your craft mat and dilute with water from a Distress Sprayer.
Use a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock to pick up the watery ink until you have uneven coverage as shown below. Use a heat tool to gently dry it.
Stamp one of the butterflies from the Flutter set in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide onto Cotton Candy cardstock and then fussy cut.
Stamp the sentiment in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat set for a raised effect.
Secure the Floral Stencil over the watercolor background and apply texture paste with a palette knife.
While still wet, sprinkle the stenciling with the selected colors of Distress Embossing Glaze.
Heat set to melt the powder. Reapply some of the glaze in sections to deepen the color and heat set again.
Stamp the flourish from the Artful Flight set in Hickory Smoke and Kitsch Flamingo onto the top left and bottom right of the card front.
Adhere the fussy-cut butterfly using foam squares to finish.
