Hello all!
Today I am on the
Today I am on the
sharing my Inspiration Project for August.
I have a lot of time on my hands lately
so I've been experimenting with some new, to me, types of paper crafts.
This is a mixed media canvas I created using the
I used quite a variety of items and mediums on this 7x14" canvas.
The 3 butterflies and sentiment were colored with pencils & fussy cut.
The canvas was painted, first, with 3 different glimmer mists.
I added texture with a stencil & texture paste.
I added wood elements which were painted with metallic acrylic paint.
I framed the sentiment with a die cut,
which I also painted to match the wood pieces.
There are a few metal pieces at the top.
I added paper flowers and finished up m with some pearls.
Here are some close ups
I will definitely be doing more pieces like this!
I hope I have inspired you to try something new & to

Well I'll be! You sure do need to do some more of these because this design is lovely. The stenciled background really adds a nice ground to the butterflies. Vintage and shabby all at the same time. Those flowers and the chippies are so fun and the pearls are the perfect finishing touch. Fantabulous and awesome sauce!
