Another butterfly from me this Friday for Anna's Quotable Quotes MIXed media challenge. I have DOX inks, gesso, acrylic paint, sparkle paste and alcohol inks...
I chose my sentiment first, and decided to make a totally random background that would be my ugly caterpillar. I sponged a piece of card with the blues and yellow. Then I stencilled a map over parts with whatever green was on a sponge, and the circles with white gesso. Then I stencilled the roses (TH) with black soot. I didn't like the grid from the map being so dominant, so I toned it down by stencilling sparkle paste over it. Stamped and embossed the sentiment, then added the Lavinia flowers round the edge. Edged the whole thing with silver ink and EP. Still didn't like the stencilled sparkle, so I added chunky white EP over that.
The butterfly is a layer of kraft covered with sparkle paste. The next layer (yellow one) is DOX inks on photo paper, and the top layer is alcohol inks on Yupo.
