Flowers and Butterflies.

This project showcases

Wk 2 of my current Butterfly Challenge

#33 Butterflies + F is for flowers.

So buy one 50p frame  from the local charity shop.

Give it a coat of paint  using  matchpots  in

'Violet White'.

 Distress using Liquid pearls 'Majestic Purple'

by rubbing in along the grain of the wood

and  sanding down to achieve a worn look .

Then have a good rummage in your stash

and go to town embellishing to your hearts desire.

I cut the butterflies from shrink plastic

using a couple of die cut butterfly frames.

Then coloured using my promarkers

before heating to shrink down in size.

Once I was happy with the colours

I allowed to dry and then gave each one

a good coating of glossy accents.

The photo in the frame is rather special

as it is the only known one  in existence of

The Doc's Grandmother.

His aunt showed it to us and we asked to borrow it 

to take copies of. 

The original is in a bit of a state but I managed to retake

a photo of it and then download into my computer.

It is only a small size 2'x3' so I cropped and resized to 

fit the frame and printed off onto good quality gsm card stock.

It is in black and white so I  used

my pearlescent chalks to enhance the grass

and her clothing.

This is a surprise for The Doc's Aunt for this Sunday.
