Things With Wings Spring Hop {Week 2} @ STAMPlorations

Hello my friends!

Welcome to Week 2 of Things With Wings Blog Hop & Linky Party brought to you by STAMPlorations. 

Spring is here and we invite you to celebrate with us every Wednesday beginning April 5.

For the next two Wednesdays, we'll be sharing our winged-themed spring projects. You're sure to be inspired and we would love for you to join us by creating and linking your own spring projects -- anything is welcome as long as there are wings in it -- butterflies, dragonflies, birds, fairies, bugs, bees, pterodactyl...anything that flies, really!

We have fabulous prizes to be won and I am sure you wouldn't want to miss a chance because you could be the winner. Visit Week 1 and Week 2 blog hop for details and have a see at the designers fabulous creations to be inspired.

I created a tag using butterfly images from Blossom Like A Butterfly and Trendy Butterflies stamp set. The sentiment is from Trendy Butterflies 2 stamp set. 

Some up-close pictures:

 As always I started applying clear gesso on a piece of 200gsm acid free drawing paper and adhered layers of tissue paper. Then I dried up with heat gun before I used modeling paste through Bloom Boldly stencil to create patterns in the background before water coloring took off after that.

Next I stamped small butterflies and sentiment directly on the background using Versafine onyx black ink pad. The focal point is the big butterfly placed on gauze and trim; stamped, cut out and colored with oil pastels. I doodle the butterflies and leaves with white gel pen for additional interest and details. Yes, I love attention to details {smile}.

 That's it. Simple and easy project if you need to do something quick.

I hope you find some inspirations from my art work today.

Stay tuned for Week 3 Blog Hop next Wednesday.

Happy hopping and be sure to link up your project with this graphic:

See you soon!

Hugs and smiles,
