Mixed Media Butterfly







 Another fun project with distress inks and stamping! I taped together two  atc's after I papered them on both sides, distressed with scattered straw & fired brick. Stamped with butterfly, outlined it with marker and rubbed in the metallic blueberry gelato.
  Distressed atc's with black soot. Sentiments were a rub on. Covered all with two light coats of mod podge.

 On this atc I started with designer paper and covered it with different distress paints.I used broken china distress paint to add the splatter stencil. Poppy flower digital image was colored with markers and fussy cut and glued on. A "friends" stamp in black archival ink to finish.
