Welcome back to another Mixed Media challenge from Creative Artiste - Anything Goes as long as it's Mixed Media.
I'm on a real craze for making small canvases at the moment - 7" x 5" which I find just the perfect size.
I started off by prepping my canvas with some gesso. Once dry i added some Distress Oxide Ink in Antique Linen. I used a new stencil from Creative Expressions called Graceful Butterflies and used some Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste in Gold Pearl to create the butterflies and the leaves on the background.
I added some Glitter Kiss glue from Creative Expressions in various colours to a piece of paper and once dry used the new Frames & Tags Butterfly Rectangle from Sue Wilson to cut out the small butterflies. The large butterfly is a stamp from Francoise Read for Woodware Craft Collection and I added the same glue - stamped it first to get those lovely background stamping details then added the butterfly on top. The words my butterfly moment came from an old dictionary.
