Paperweight.

I made this Paper weight for The Doc

 and to showcase

my  Butterfly challenge

One Layer only.

 

I used  a large flat pebble that had come from the garden centre

when I was making a display in the garden using a pile of them.

I used Tester pots in 'Willow Tree' and 'Enchanted Eden'

to paint over the pebble  painting the lighter colour on first

and then the darker at the bottom.

I had seen this idea in the July issue 170 of Craft Stamper by Anneke Declerck.

Once paint was dry only took a few minutes

(I love using these little pots of paint which come in a matt & silk finish)

I used a SU stamp  'Papillon Potpouri' and Stazon ink

to place the butterflies in flight .

Sentiment by Dovercraft.

Lastly I just touched the centre of the  flowers on the butterflies

using Zig Art and Graphic markers in two shades of blue.
