A Trio of Butterflies...

Hello and Welcome to my post for our 
New Anything Goes Challenge 
For my project and inspiration 
I had a fun but somewhat messy time
(as you do with Mixed Media)
creating three very different  ATC's.


You know me as always I start off taking photos
and get carried away creating and forget along the way.
I started here with torn tissue paper pasted onto my
three ATC's (which disappeared in the end)
then added texture with a favourite stencil
from AALL&Create.

As I had butterflies out for another challenge
I decided to use up a few more here.
After the texture paste dried I added 
Lindy's Magical's in different colours
for each ATC and let it run in various directions.
Collected elements to add to the backgrounds
with inked lace, sisel, cotton thread and a piece of coloured bark.
Coloured the butterfly with the same Magical's
to match the bark
and added a bead to the centre.
Added glossy accents to the butterfly wings.
and added a gem to the centre here.

Finished with some inking on the edges
a little coloured backing and sentiment
from Tim's Small Talk.
Hope you will pop over and see
what was created for you from
our Guest Designers and the Talented Team.

Thank you for the welcome Ina - I’m excited to be here to challenge myself further with Mixed Media. I love your ATC’s - we often do ATC swaps on my Facebook group and they are always a fun thing to do. My favourite I think is that gorgeous soft blue one.

Three times as fabulous with your ATC trio Ina each one with there own personality. It's a great day when we loose ourselves in our creativity no wonder we forget to stop and take photographs. Everyone a beautiful work of art but like Fiona my favourite is the seconds with it's spring time colours.
Happy crafting Hugs Tracey xx
