for better effect. Then I used some black and red sprays,
and used a brighter red to add splatters.
I also did some stencilling with Graphite Paste.


Using Alcohol Inks and AI Foil Tape sheets I mixed some colours.
Then I used a Strip die to Diecut the butterflies.
I coloured a chipboard tree with black gesso and Color Bloom spray,

Then I arranged everything and glued them on..

Glue the Resin Pieces and when dry paint with a

Mixed Media Journal Page

Hellooooo Everyone...
I started this project a while ago and 
thought I should finish it


Sorry I forgot to take pics sooner...I think I was in the zone...LOL
So first off I stamped some images....I made a mask with the girl stamp
so I could layer up the flowers.
Then I used TH Distress Stain for the background, and JD
Watercolours plus Lindy's sprays to paint the flowers...


I then stamped another couple of girls and lots of flowers.
I cut the dress out and used a stencil for the pattern.
I painted the flowers the same as on the page.


I attached the flowers with foam dots to give them dimension.
 

then the girl and her dress....
 

I touched her hair up with some JD Magic wands, 
added a saying and of course a couple of butterflies...

SUPPLIES LIST
