My piece today is an 8x8 canvas board.
I started the background using distress paints including reds and oranges mostly - I cracked open my new candied-apple for this one! Whilst the background dried I created the card that the butterflies were stamped onto. This was done mostly with distress stains in green shades.
I stamped the -perspective butterfly from Tim Holtz onto this card and then fussy cut.
The apothecary-vials are my take on bottles for this piece - I thought they made cute bodies!
The rest of the background was completed using a small vine stamp and also a Tim Holtz sentiment stamp also from the perspective set.
I hope you can join us at Countryview challenges!
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
