Fun with Circles!

Hello there! How are you today? July 1st - how did that happen??? Well being the first it means a new challenge over at countryviewchallenges where you are being invited to have fun with circles! Here's my make ....


And here's how I made it ... I started by brayering buff fresco paint onto card ..


next I added more fresco paints and some metallic decoarts paints...


Then I added circles in white using a pen top and wow powder pot using white paint....


I also added black circles in archival ink ...


I also added some stamping in distress ink using limor circles and a script stamp.


Next I stamped a large butterfly ...


and coloured it using distress inks before cutting out ...


Next I used posca pens to add circles on the butterfly...


Here's another look at the finished item.


I hope you will be able to join us this month and be in with a chance to win a £20 voucher to spend at countryviewcrafts.

I would like to enter this into craftstamper take-it-make-it-challenge-july

Big hugs

Rachel xx

    This is glorious, Rachel - your brayered background is beautiful, especially with those wonderful bubbly circles, and the butterfly is gorgeous too. Stunning work! I'm sorry to have been MIA again lately. I've got a couple of weeks coming up soon where I hope to do some proper catching up.
