The Theme for November is the colour Green
These are for an ATC swap on Zuzu's forum. We do a different colour each month - and this one is green.
I scanned these into the computer - but I am not keen on scanning as it magnifies the image so that it is bigger than in reality - and so you get a different perspective than you would with the naked eye. The colours are sharper and darker and smoother not 'coloured in' looking as the scan makes them look
I coloured photo paper card with alchohol inks and when dry I stamped on the butterfly image and cut it out.
The backing card is green too although the scan makes it look cream. It
has been stamped, and I have painted colour on the flowers and leaves.
All the edges are painted lime green as a frame - but for some reason the scan hasn't picked up some of them!
For the above I have stamped the butterfly directly onto the card and also the flowers and foliage which I painted as above.
One more to do - might do a totally different medium for that - just waiting for some inspiration to kick in.
