Wings

I have this wonderful memory of my daughter as a 1 year old in a butterfly conservatory in Arizona. She had the most wonderful time chasing them yet never catching one. This project was inspired by her.


My little butterfly!



I've been stuck on kraft paper lately. I can't help myself; it Just makes these butterflies stamped with ink and colored with prismas from Unity's Aug 2016 SMAK kit pop. These guys are thirsty so I added some Nuvo dew drops for them. 


This little guy let me take his pic in the conservatory.



Wink of Stella brushed on their wings reminded me of the powder I was told as a child never to touch. Did you know that the powder on butterfly and moth wings is actually made up of tiny scales?! Crazy right?!
  The stitched border surrounding these jurassic insects is hand drawn because I'm kinda lazy when it comes to setting up my sewing machine.

This next little tag project began because I was stuck on Angie girls one night...


Crystal O. Minkler jokingly suggested that I add wings to one....so here is my flying fairy Angie girl!

This Unity tag was the perfect size for this lovely lady named Violet girl. The butterfly I received in a grab bag recently and is colored with prismas as well.

Keep on fluttering from blog to blog! Keep your antennas alert for giveaways!

  4. WOW! Your daughter is adorable and that butterfly seat is incredible. Coloring on kraft paper is amazing and so beautiful. I would not of guessed that was hand drawn stitching. I agree, it should be a stamp for us lazy people who don't sew, like me. I 'd use it as a stamp. So perfect. And OMGEEE that Angie Girl tag is amazing. I love your coloring and the addition of the butterfly wings is stunning. Thank you for the inspiration!
