Flight of the Butterflies

Photo Details

Poster: ladybug91743

today, we were to take our inspiration from Better Photo site and what a site it is.... there is soooo much to see and so beautiful....It was very hard to choose, but I finally chose BUTTERFLIES ESCAPE.

I didnt use dp for bg but instead used musical score because I imagined the sound so many butterflies would make (like music)...after stamping image, I used birds and swirls ef for bg... then I tore edges of paper and sponged using Tim Holtz antique linen and vintage photo....then I stamped one image of SU bugs & slugs and wanted butterflies to slowly be smaller as they flew away, so I needed to draw the other 4 butterflies. I then sponged them with vintage photo and added stickles and pearls to them....oh yes, I almost forgot, I did sponge the birds and leaves on bg....

thanks for taking a peek... hope you like it....

Marie-alice, this is stunning. I like the embossing on the music panel and how you so softly colored it. The flight of butterflies is beautiful.
