Hope

Happy May! There's a new challenge up on The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge blog! This month we are asking you to create a project featuring BUTTERFLIES AND BLOOMS:
Here's a trio of close-ups of my project featuring butterflies and blooms:
I created an 8" x 8" canvas project featuring a variety of wooden embellishment butterflies along with several metal flower trinkets:
To create this project basically, I adhered strips of lace, adhered the embellishments in place, applied gesso to EVERYTHING then randomly applied various colors of acrylic paints:



I'm linking my project to Paint Party Friday:
Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you enjoyed my project! Please be sure to visit The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge site for loads of awesome inspiration from the DT and for complete details on how to share your mixed media creativity with us! Remember, this month we have a sponsor who is offering a fantastic prize to one lucky player! Like the lottery, you have to play to win!
Be Sweet ;)
