Entry in Clares CJ

This is a CJ insert I did for a UK Stampers Forum originated by Fairy (Clare). The theme was 'Flights of Fancy' and one stipulation was that each entry should feature Wings of one form or another.

I chose Butterflies and a mauve colourway, accented with glitters, Cricut letters, opalescent paints & embossed stamped images. I used rubber stamps from Tanda, Cherry Pie, Artistic Stamper & SeeD morsels. The letters were cut using the Cricut & Zooballoo cartridge and these were layered and subtly glittered with transparent glitter. The background was prepared with a Stewart Gill Alchemy paint with a gold interference effect (Amethyst) applied with a criss cross pattern by wide brush and the floral swirls were stamped in violet pigment ink and heat embossed with a purple pearl EP. The butterfly and sprite inside are inkjet printed on vellum (from a Joanna Sheen CD ROM) and attached with two pieces of organza and satin ribbon which are embellished with small square violet flat-backed jewels.

The inserts are designed to go into a small but gorgeously decorated metal Lunchpack Tin. The finished CJ looks very impressive and is now on its way back to it's owner.
