The background is made with Tissue Tape Sketchbook, layered with Distress Crackle Paint, coloured with Distress inks. 

On the double layered Grungeboard butterfly I used the sentiment from Flights of Fancy with Sprocket Gears and Game Spinners. 

The flower is made with the Mini Paper Rosettes, the paper from Tim's Vintage Shabby Paperstack

 and on top an Idea-ology Philosophy Tag. The sentiment is worked on with Crackle Rock Candy

You can make whatever you like but it has to be VINTAGE and has ALL the ingrediënts of the RECIPE in it.

I decided to take my Recipe all the way to The Wendy Vecchi....I made a wallhanger and decorated the in- and outside. Had this little frame unused laying around in my closet for agessss ...and I thought it was about time to get my thinking cap on and start crafting with the frame..and I made a wallhanger out of it.

I just LOVEEE these butterflies....so I worked with the Just Flutterby Butterfly from The Wendy and her big Sis Just Fly, they  have torn edges and are distressed. 

The wallhanger itself is worked on with Forest Moss, Rusty Hinge , Weathered Wood ,Vintage Photo and offcourse Crackle Clear Rock Candy and Distress Crackle Paint. And the background of the butterflies are colored with Weathered Wood....Just sooo love this color.....

The sentiment is from The Wendy's Studio 490 Dreams of Art. Love that set too.....On each corner I placed buttons to finish my project. I found those buttons in my "old" box of buttons LOL...I thought the little butterflies were just perfect to put on top of the white ones....

So Yep I got the Recipe covered with the Torn Edges, Distress Inks, Buttons and the Wings wohooooo....Too bad the picture did not work out the way I wanted it to be but oh well I just have to do with this one eh?
