So excited to be invited to be Guest Designer over at Inkspirational She Art or Image of a Woman. If you search on Pinterest you will find some amazing She Art inspiration, and I found my inspiration from this work on Pinterest by Sara Riches, and the pops of blue in the current Create Something Catchy Let's Get Pinspired challenge. Unfortunately my place is all over the head at the moment, and I got my dates wrong, so this may be posted on the Inkspirational site a little late. You have almost two weeks to join in the fun!
This panel is 9 x 7.5 inches (slightly smaller than Letter/A4). The background was created by applying a layer of Gesso to the back and front of a sheet of the Oxford Dictionary onto watercolour paper, and backing with a sheet of blue patterned paper. Stamped with this gorgeous Unity sentiment, paired with Santoro's Gorjuss Ruby stamp of a girl on a swing with her cat, stamped and fussy cut in blue patterned paper. Die cut butterflies from Simon Says Stamp and Dienamics, in a range of blue patterned papers from my stash.

Your kaleidoscope of butterflies, paired with the little girl and the sentiment, conveys the message and images of She Art wonderfully! Big dreams rather than small realities: how inspiring! Thank you for being an amazing GD with us for this challenge!

ReplyDeleteHi Lyndal, thanks for your recent visit & kind comment. Popped over to enjoy this fab butterfly card. Love the way you've got the flight of these pretty creatures over that newsprint. So much detail to add extra interest. I'm loving that sentiment statement too. Very apt indeed. Good analogy with the little girl in the swing too. TFS
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful butterfly card Lyndal.... the image is very cute.... Thank you for joining us at CSCC #12.... All the best....
ReplyDeleteHi Lyndall i am a huge fan of Santoro Gorjuss Girls, you have used her so beautifully. The 3D butterflies and the gessoed background are both inspired choices.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in with our challenge and hope to see you on the next one.
