SOS: Chanson Papillon (butterfly!)

This week at Shopping Our Stash, Chris is our hostess, and she's chosen a theme for the challenge that is sure to draw a large crowd-- add a butterfly or two... or three... or four...!

I know that butterflies are many people's "thing"-- I do love them and appreciate them as a life form, but they are not necessarily my "thing" like birds or trees... however, when I started digging through my stash, I was surprised to find all kinds of snippets and a few stamps of butterflies! My focal, however, is a stencil:

Supplies:

• Butterfly stencil by Heidi Swapp 
• Stencil placed on Strathmore watercolor paper and sprinkled with Color Bursts.  Cut out when dry.
• Background is also Strathmore watercolor paper.  I used the butterfly mask that came with the stencil and applied Finnabair clear crackle paste around it (not my fave, so I am trying to use it up so I can try the Liquitex brand).   
• I then sprayed the panel with Dylusions in Pure Sunshine and inked it with Festive Berries DI through an old Heidi Swapp basket weave stencil
• I used a Signo white pen (that I am babying because it is low) for the border 
• Sentiment written with white Liquitex gesso
• Butterfly popped up with 3M dimensional adhesive

...and just in case you are interested in the soothing sounds of 1980...:

See you at Shopping Our Stash!
