It has become my breakfast routine to check the new day's challenges looking for inspiration. My little note book is full of ideas for each week on a rolling basis. Yesterday was a feast day and now I'm sharing the result.
I am a very messy and always have a paper stack of some kind overing the work surface. Sometimes this paper ends up looking fantastic and is saved for backgrounds. That is where this background comes from, it is covered with inks, splashes and spolges stamps and even some paint.Next came the circles, I knew there would be 3 but was uncertain how to configure them. I also new I wanted to use a Lisa Horton stamp set. In this set there are 2 butterflies, in pieces which means expands your use of them. This time it is a conventional butterfly image, fussy cut and coloured with ProMarkers in shades of Pink, what is it with me and Pink recently? Initially there was going to be 3 butterflies but this one is so commanding anymore would spoil it.
The layout was beginning to resolve itself but something was needed near the top. Personal Impressions Blossom fits nicely stamped and coloured again with ProMarkers it was partially fussy cut. There are two inner sections that normally would be removed but it was becoming very fragile so I decided to leave them. The white areas where then watercolored in blue. The quote also from the Lisa Horton set is from that Sci-Fi writer of incredible imagination - R.H.Heinlein.
