September Challenge for Imagination Crafts: Butterflies

Good morning Lovelies! How are you today? I am well and happy and back home - we had a wonderful holiday - but more of that in later posts - this is the first of three posts for me today so hold on tight!!!!

Over at imagination-craftschallenges there is a new challenge starting - this month its Butterflies! I suspect there will be a lot of entries this time but remember if you want to be in with a chance of the £40 of Imagination Crafts products which is the prize you must enter using something from imaginationcrafts - and remember not to link up to more than 7 challenges in total!

Here's my piece - its a brush/penpot  for my craft table.





The pot is made from MDF - I bought it for £1.60 from the MDF man at the Doncaster show. I painted it with Pebeo Acrylic Paint then used a mask from Imagination crafts to add the swirls and small butterflies to the pot. The sparkle medium used was Jade and Amethyst. I also used the Imagination Crafts decoupage butterfly stamp and used it with angelina film and fibres and then cut them out and added them to the pot.

Hope you'll be able to join us this time.

I'd like to enter my little pot into the following challenges:

Thanks for dropping by and I'll return at 3pm with my Craft a scene post and 9pm with my CCAYR post.

Big Hugs
