Hello Friends!
Before I tell you about today's project I want to remind you all that a new DominoART Challenge started on Friday and this one is all about altering the game boards that come with board games like Scrabble and Monopoly! So dig out those old board games and come and play with us ;0)

Besides the Smeared Ink images all the linked products are available at Blockheads Paper Arts. They are having a site wide sale right now so dash on over and shop before all the good stuff is gone!
All the images were printed onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and the 2 butterflies were fussy cut out. I used Copic markers to colour the man and the butterflies and applied Pumice Stone, Tea Dye and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks to the background.
I used my Perfect Layers tools by Perfect Paper Crafting to cut the 1/8" and 1/16" borders with an Xacto knife on a self-healing cutting mat. Aren't Perfect Layers tools awesome! I cut all those borders perfectly with a tool that looks just like a ruler without the need for measuring and they're so easy to use!

All the butterflies including the one covering the man's eye are coated with Judikins Diamond Glaze for a glass-like finish and my "Dripping" is real candle wax. I used a white candle and dripped the heated wax onto the image until I was happy with the effect. I then completed my art piece by adhering the butterflies with dimensional silicone glue to the main piece.
Happy Stamping!
