My multi-tasking butterfly is for this week's MMTPT challenge, blue flowers and butterflies.
I used the current Sketch Challenge, and also threw Tiffany's MIX47 Texture Love challenge in. Oh, the joy of a day off work, it feels like Saturday!!
Base stamped with the script in pumice stone, sponged with Antique Linen and some blue round the edges.
Argyle-embossed layer sponged with Wild Honey. I'd wanted to leave it white, but it didn't stand out enough. I added some burlap ribbon, and then my embossed panel sponged with Salty Ocean and probably Peeled Paint. Stickles added to the flowers. That's some extra texture for the MIX challenge, but primarily I squished some Liquid Pearls through the spaces in the die that are meant for sponging. When dry they act as a resist so I was able to sponge it with some colour. In real life it looks a bit brighter and less muddy, but I can't find my good camera and with a storm on the way the light is fading fast here.
The ric-rac strip was cut from a spare piece from Ky's MIX45, when I sprayed too much fixative on my piece and had to make a fresh start on the day. Essentially it's Medallion stamped on a book page with Versamark, chalked with blues and sprayed with so much fixative it has an almost parchment-like feel to it.
