The Beauty of a Butterfly

It's the first Friday of the Month and our
 Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge is Live!


There's LOTS and LOTS going on here so let's get started with...
a 5x7inch canvas gesso-ed, background coloured with 
salvage patina and
AALL&Create stencils using metallic white texture paste
which look a little silvery.



Adding some stamping and texture paste,
inking the edges.



The top butterfly is from dp and the other two
had embossing glaze, distress stain added to brown card stock.
Realized the bottom right butterfly was the wrong one.
Edges have random crackle paste and 
inked with spiced marmalade.
Added rusty brown wax to the stencilling and the edges.
Die cut a couple of numbers, adding lots of washi tapes
to the butterfly background, die cut circles and a few gears.


A few tiny flowers added for a bit more colour
and matched the washi tape.
Liquid pearls to the centres.
The butterfly looked a little lack lustre so 
sprinked it with tumbled glass distress glitter
adding a centre piece for more dimension.


A few random close ups




And there you have my Mixed Media Project for September.
It was nice to have a bit more spare time to create
something a bit more involved. 

We have Annie as our Guest this month 
so head over and check out
what Mixed Media Annie and the Team created 
for your inspiration and join in with yours to our Gallery.
