Butterflies and BLOOMS

Hello my friends....

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU
to my girl Rachel Kleinman
for her post on Facebook about this months
CHALLENGE
over at The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge!

It just so happened I had a project in the works

that I could use to fit this challenge!!

I had been trying out some new Perfect Paint products

and using a new technique, I had just learned, of rubbing on

Polishing Plaster with my finger.

I was able to create this rather cool background

using this technique.

I don't know if you've noticed??

...but, I've had this thing for hearts.....lately,

ok, so yes, I will admit, A LOT!

So, why should this creation be any different??

I cut one from Canvas Corp Brands ~ Chocolate Burlap

and one from a bit of vintage curtain

that was just laying around.

I had a few 'TOVERS I chose to use,

the Bloom part of the challenge, a Petaloo Sunflower

and some ivy leaves.

I added a few Petaloo ~ Mini Pearl Daisies colored with

diluted Perfect Paints ~ Coral.

I also added a little of the same color,

to the previously colored Sunflower.

Last but not least......a Butterfly

another part of the challenge!

I hope you have enjoyed my creation for

The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge....

and I challenge YOU to play along!
