Fluttering Butterflies! By Trish

Hello!
I am so pleased to start posting DT projects for Calico Craft Parts again!

My first project is painty and colourful...so not much has changed in the months we've been away then!


I have used a rectangle birch plaque as my base. These are fabulous, great smooth surface to paint on, and nice and sturdy too! This one is 200 x 100 mm in size. I painted it, then added a little texture by scraping texture paste through a stencil....


I stamped the flowers on red painted cardstock, cut them out and attached them to some painted sticks...


My butterflies are 8 from the mini butterfly style 4 set... painted, then hot glued to wire. They flutter over the flowers!


You can get lots of detail on them, considering how teeny they are!

Have a fabulous day everyone!

Trish xxxx

  8. Woohoo. Welcome Back Calico Craft Parts!!!
    As I thought, Trish, this is fabulous, so bright, funky & some cool techniques. To achieve so much detail on the butterflies is amazing? Your usual imagination gives us a visual feast, look at the flowers & breezy grass!? Now, do I need more butterflies? Hmmmm..... Tfs & I am genuinely chuffed to bits to see H&S back (& the DT of course)😊

  9. Totally looks "real" - like a floral arrangement - and sure would rather have this than something that dies!! Soooooo pretty. j
