For this weeks Mix-Ability Challenge MIX65 - Back to Kindergarten - Crayon Resist.
As my sweet Teddy would say, "Hmmm, I don't know". I'm not sure how I feel - I just went for it! *laughing* I honestly enjoyed the freedom of just "doing". I think what I don't care for is my choice of colors for the butterfly. It doesn't seem to connect with everything else (at least for me). I loved this technique and I'm going to try it again. So there you have it - Flora Butterfly Crayon Resist - Old World Style. *wink* That's the ticket!
Hugs,

Susie, I can't believe you had any doubts about this. It is gorgeous and the butterfly is amazing. The colors, burnt edges and layout all work so well together. My attempt at crayon resist ended up in the trash while yours turned out stunning.

I agree with Francie, I can't believe you had doubts about this, in fact I saves it to My Favs before I read your write-up. Love everything about this my friend.

Oh I just love this! Your butterfly is just BEAUTIFUL and the whole design ROCKS! I love the burnt edge look to the main papnel and that is such a lovely EF you used! The twine and the briliant are the cherry on top!
