Chase Your Dreams

Another Friday with Flair and this week I've got a simple, semi mixed media card to share with you. I do LOVE experiments and especially to use things leftover from one project for another.  While I used a printed card for this, the layering pieces are actually scraps from other projects.  The first layer and the butterfly are from acrylic paint paper with watercolors cleaned off a brush on it, and the middle bright blue layer is from when I had too much paint on my brush. I save everything.


I wanted a few other colors on the butterfly, so I added some ink and then went over a bit of it with a gold marker.  I wanna donate this card to OWH so no glitter, but I love how the gold accented the wings.

Just a few challenges today:

Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Enjoy your weekend.  Laters!!
