Inky Wings : A Vintage Journey October Challenge

Hi everyone x It's Annie (Curiousncraftytreasures blog) here with this month's challenge, which is "INKY WINGS"
For this challenge you can create any project as long as ink and wings are included in some way. This includes backgrounds, stamped images, art journals, and portions of your project coloured with ink. Any kind of ink is welcome, so let's get creative within our preferred styles of vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.
Our fabulous creative guides have provided lots of inspiration to get those creative juices flowing so grab a cuppa and enjoy this post.

I decided to paint a canvas incorporating Dragonflies, using Distress Ink to colour them. I shall share the process in more detail within my post on 18th October.

I've created a quartet of ATCs for Annie's fabulous theme.  My inky wings are attached to some embossed and slightly bossy insects hovering over inky layered backgrounds.  Do come and visit me at Words and Pictures to take a closer look at the instructions these flying insects have for us all on how to live our best lives!


I've created a wrapped journal for Annie's fabulous theme. My inky wing is added to the front of the wrapped journal. Please pop over to my blog to see how it all came together.

For this fabulous challenge - I took it quite literally.  I added lots of Alcohol Ink to the wings so they would look like a creepy patina headstone element.  Hope you will stop by my blog for a visit.

For Annie's fantastic challenge, I had fun art journaling using lots of different inks to create my background and the inky wings of my butterfly. To find out more, please pop over to my blog, Let's Art Journal, to see how it all came together.


I decided to use Annie's fabulous challenge as a "back to basics" exercise as I seem to have lost my way with my Distress Inks! Having used some of my favourite colours, favourite stamps and a fabulous new quote stamp I feel I have my inky mojo back! Please join me over on my blog if you would like to find out more.


For this inspirational challenge suggested by Annie, I choose to continue my Halloween projects! I created a card with the exclusive Stamptember 2019 Set by Simon Says Stamp and Tim Holtz. Check out my blog  Yayascrap & more for the whole tutorial!

I'm very pleased to be joining Annie's fabulous 'Inky Wings' challenge, as it's given me an opportunity to use my lovely Tim Holtz 'Entomology Stamps' and dies. If you'd like to see how my project came together, please hop over to my blog with this link.
Such lovely inspiration to get your creative juices flowing for our Inky Wings Challenge theme.
