It's the 2nd week of my Butterfly Challenge.
Theme is to use a doily + your butterfly on your project.
Here's what I have made for further inspiration for you.
Take one plastic doily stencil.
This was a gift sent to me so have no makers name .
I had a picture from my first art class which was the obligatory
Still life Apple which you can see here.
Time to repurpose I think
I gave the canvas a good coating of 'Blue Babe' tester pot paint to cover.
Placed the stencil where I wanted it and then used a pencil to draw round the lines.
Removed the stencil and filled in using 'Enchanted Eden' tester pot.
'Bullrushes' panel stencil is by Imagination crafts.
Again I drew through the design with a pencil and then filled in using
Josonja's 'Burnt Umber' acrylic artist paint.
Butterfly is by Dufex decoupage topper in fine metallic.
I purchased my sheets from Pinflair.
Close up of butterfly which is really pretty.
I have purchased several sheets of these as prizes.
Hope I have inspired you to join in this time.
