First, I have distressed the page with Brushed Corduroy, then glued a very old school book page on it :
I made my own masking tapes, stamping cogs and watches background stamps on to a piece of tape :
and sticked them to my page, adding a piece of a used tea bag :
A coat of gesso, then I stamped Treillis and Dots backgrounds and added brown shadows here and there with a watercolor chalk and a wet paintbrush :
I did the same with the central butterfly I stamped on a white paper, slightly blured and cut out :
And here is my page :
Here are the stamps I used :
Butterflies
Encyclopaedia Botanica
Treillis Background
Watches Background
Dots Background
Cogs Background
