Happy Valentine's Day dear readers! I have the pleasure of hosting our current challenge at Frilly & Funkie and I've chosen the theme Dare to Resist. For the next two weeks, as we break away from our Valentine creations, we'd love to see you incorporate a favorite resist technique in your vintage or shabby chic project. There are so many options, perhaps you will try something new. Whether it be gesso resist, Vaseline resist, alcohol resist, embossing resist, or watercolor resist, we dare you to resist!
I added some watery Distress Inks puddles and splashes using Black Soot and Cracked Pistachio. I distressed the edges, then sponged them.
I love how the foil pops through the ink! I embellished with the foiled images from the Zella Teal Ephemera pack. I layered a marbled Prima flower with a die cut doily by Tim Holtz and a Friendship word. I embossed the Detailed Butterfly to coordinate. The seam binding was dyed with Distress Inks and gifted to me by my friend Carol. <3 You can see I cut portions of Vinice Lace and tucked in the torn areas of my foiled paper layer.
I hope you're inspired to play along with our Dare to Resist challenge for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Funkie Junkie Boutique.
Beautiful project...in love.

Happy Valentines Day dear Autumn, there is no better colour than *Teal* to help share all the love today. Adore those touches of foil and layer upon layer of mixed media detail. Your glittery embossed butterfly is perched admiring it all. A beautiful creation, Thank you for sharing.

Mmmmm! Lots of lovely eye candy here, Autumn! I love all the dimensional layers you created, the soft distressing, the flowers tucked here and there and the lovely resist technique! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card, and in my fave colours, too. Happy Valentine's day to you and yours, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh so clever and very very cool! I looked at your gorgeous card and was thinking what did she resist and now I know! Fabulous effect and such a cool new technique to try. Beautiful card and I love the teal colors!
ReplyDeleteOh what a gorgeous card! I love the color combo and your layering is so stunning! I haven't tried this Prima product but may just give it a go ;)
ReplyDeleteWow What gorgeous color Autumn!! What powder did you use on that butterfly? I just love it!
ReplyDeletehugs,Jackie xx
Wow, such a beautiful shabby card in beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteSWOONING! Your teal and metallic palette makes my heart flutter! What a CLEVER resist technique, totally new to my eyes! I am going to have to try that, but have never heard of those adhesive rub ons. I guess the same could be achieved with the glue stick through a favorite stencil. You've got me itching to steal some time to craft today...sigh! Your embossed butterfly steals the show, as well as each of your various shades of trims/textiles. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE<3!
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, this is an old powder by PSX that is no longer available. It is kind of a mixed color powder with flecks of red. :)
ReplyDeleteOH WOW GIRL ... this is just GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Autumn, love the foil resist technique and such a stunning colour.
