The butterfly stamp is a new one from Stampendous CRP147 Cling Butterfly Post. And as I have just found out, this stamp has proved a popular choice this time with a couple of other members of our DT. It is a gorgeous stamp so who can blame them.
I wanted to use soft blues for a change. I have always had a thing about blue butterflies. I coloured the butterfly with coloured pencils then blended Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks over the panel.
I added a little gold shimmer to the wings and the body was from a decorative head pin. I just cut off the pin part. Dreamweaver have packs of these with several colours in the pack.
My flower is text paper from a French Dictionary I bought from Oxfam. I used Tim's Tattered Floral die to cut out about 12 . They were sponged with the blue Distress inks. My foliage is from another of Tim's dies....Regal Crest.
