This was a great inspiration challenge this week. I have always admired these mixed media type designs so this gave me an opportunity to do something different. I selected this tag https://www.pinterest.com/pin/790311434598371131/
I used some old SU DP, stamped the musical notes and then added several layers of stenciling using the ranger inks and then tore it up into smaller shapes. Got to try the pixie spray that tacks down stencils. I thought it worked great as my stencils stayed in place so I could get good color transfer. The butterfly was die cut from a piece of colored CS that I had. I think it's from brushos but I can't remember. I stenciled over the blue for addition color and pattern then die cut. I added Wink of Stellar to give it some shimmer and mounted with foam tape. Mounted all the elements on an orange embossed BG that I edged with taken with teal. I saw this sentiment on a card somewhere and really liked it so I printed it for this card. Added some enamel dots for additional texture. TFL

I was going to choose the tag you chose, so I am loving seeing what you did. Love your idea to tear the pieces. I would never have thought of doing that. It looks great and that is a gorgeous butterfly. I also like the enamel dots you added!
