CAS Mixup - Paper Towel - Oh Happy Day!

Hello!

A fun challenge at CAS Mixup ... use paper towel.  Since I had no inky paper towels on hand, I made some by inking a card panel with two colors (Broken China and Peacock Feathers) of Distress Oxide ink, spraying liberally with water and sopping up the rich colors with a folded paper towel.  This resulted in 4 paper towel offspring (the paper towel is 2-ply).  The first one with the richest colors was used that was glued to a piece of card stock.  Before die cutting the butterfly, the panel was inked with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with clear and sparkly EP.  The paper towel and the heat embossing created an interesting texture that is very sparkly.  A die cut was used to make the perforations.  The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed following the lines of the perforations.  The die cut butterfly was adhered using foam tape.  The panel was adhered using foam tape to enable more definition to the perforations.

Enjoyed this mixed media challenge.

Processes used - paper towel, water coloring, die-cutting, stamping, heat embossing.
