Creative Wednesday - Butterflies

Creative Wednesday has the theme of butterflies this week so I have made a skinny page (3 by 5 inches) for a book I am making for myself. (PS I love the look of the Creative Wed blog - it is so pretty in a non-pink way!)

The background of my page is, once again, a glossy magazine page which has been used to blot another painted surface. It had nice colour and texture given that it was a scrap and it only needed some more paint applied through sequin waste and a few squirts of some beautiful blue Glitz spray. I have stamped text and and a flowery flourish and then drawn over much of the flourish with a white gel pen. The butterflies are from decoupage paper and have been outlined with my favourite aqualip black pen. I also stamped some text on the biggest one. I love butterflies!

And on another subject, yesterday I received my copy of the latest Studios magazine (by the Cloth Paper Scissors publishers). It is another great issue and has some terrific articles but the reason I am so excited is that it has an article about an Australian feltmaker - Elizabeth Armstrong. I am probably way behind the times given this woman's artistic profile (with which I have now familiarised myself having looked at every single thing on her website!) but the article was my introduction to her and wow I am impressed! I want to go live on the other side of Australia and do all of Elizabeth's classes! I love her use of colour - check out the wall hangings!!!
