Free to Fly Back To School

A look at the card with the flash to see all the gold in the background before I added gems and changed the sentiment strip.

 

A wonderful sentiment for back to school.

I made the background by adhering multiple pieces of patterned paper to a die cut rectangle.  I then painted over with brown paint.  I wiped off most so it, so it only left a stain.  The I added Black Soot Distress Crayon to the outside edge. I splattered over gold Perfect Pearls and Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Stain. 

 

I covered the Southern Ridge Trading Company chipboard butterfly with Finnabair Rust Effects.  Lastly, I added the sentiment from Tim Holtz's Idea-ology.
