Butterfly Challenge #193

 




The theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #193 is to use the Cloisonne Technique
 and she gives instructions on this here

I started having a go at this technique using a free gardening magazine and some stamps:


The small butterfly I did first ((The Crafters Workshop stamp) but I discovered the stamp was too detailed. So next I tried the bird - Lost Coast Designs - Whimsical birds which had more open space. I then used another butterfly stamp (Impression Obsession) which I quite liked.

So how to use them?

The wheel in the Butterfly Challenge is as follows with the colour scheme below:



You may have noticed I used cerise flower pages to make my Cloisonne images.
I then matted a kraft card blank (camel?) with a background that is 'Celadon' - using a spritzed mica powder. I added a circle die cut from more of this background on top of a piece of patterned paper.



I then added the images and the sentiment - an Art by Marlene sticker.



I added some linework with a black Posca.


I will add this card to the Butterfly challenge (second challenge using two colours, Cloisonne, circle, butterfly) and the


Both of these butterfly stamps are NBUS so I will share this card there too...




Happy Crafting!
