Butterflies and Gems

Hi everyone I hope you are all good and that the new year finds you in good health!

I have loved this stamp but have never been able to do it justice but I 

think this wooden wall plaque,

might just do it justice.

I started of with putting texture paste through a memory stencil and allowing to 

dry naturally, then I covered the entire plaque with gesso.

Next I painted the entire plaque black. 

Once dry I highlighted it with Treasure gold in spanish topaz and white fire.

I triple embossed gold embossing powder on black card 

I then pressed the butterfly stamp into the molten

powder.

Once it had set I removed the stamp I had a rummage in my gem 

box and found the centre piece for my butterfly.

I took my alcohol inks in stream and denim and applied them 

to the butterflies wings.

I dyed some lint in steam Adirondack colour wash.

Some sequins from my stash and some gems to strewn across the 

stream lint.

A small piece of friendly plastic that I had from a previous project 

to finish off at the bottom. I really hope you like my plaque as 

always feel free to let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x
