When I decided to participate in the Spring Blog Hop, I was thinking of creating another wedding layout but when I sat down at my desk I decided I wanted to do a canvas. I like to play with mixed media & have been wanting to make another canvas creation.
I love flowers & butterflies & all things pretty so I figured this was the perfect opportunity.
Here is a closeup on my cluster of flowers.
Supplies
Prima-Raindrop stencil, flowers, meadowlark wooden ticket, leaves diecut
Heidi Swapp- Butterfly & flower stencil
Websters Pages- Perfect Accent resin embellishment
Recollections- Acrylic flowers
Recollections- Acrylic flowers
I used Liquitex modeling paste with my stencils. I added gelatos to the modeling paste for the butterflies. I just rubbed some yellow gelato color on the dried modeling paste & used a wet paintbrush to spread it around. The diecut leaves were embossed & cut on a Sizzix machine. I inked the edges with distress ink.
I hope you can find the time to go through the whole blog hop. I know I will be hopping along also. I may even do it more than once & dream about Spring since we may get up to 7 inches of snow today.
