CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA - APRIL CHALLENGE





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.



I'm adding this into the following:

Crafty Calendar - Die Cuts - my butterflies 
Cut it Up - Die cut letter B - butterfly
