Here's Your Close-up

Photo Details

Poster: jkanack

Welcome to Anita's TLC today....painting on the back of acetate. I don't know if I've done this before.
I used a couple of new butterfly stamps. The large background is a close-up of a butterfly wing; I stamped the text butterfly on some very old speckled vellum, fussy cut and diecut a body from a die set. Cut a frame from a metallic paper using two dies. Then I painted on that same side with three metallic acrylic paints which are quite lovely. That's it! Thanks, Anita!

That close-up of the butterfly wing is a wonderful stamp. Those colours give it a very African feel to me, I was thinking almost leopard colours but such s different patterning. The script butterfly is fun. That cold be easy to replicate simply with a die and a script stamp, might try that.
