Your In My Heart


Our Challenge over at Sweet Stamps this week IS
LOVE

Each week we choose a winner from the challenge to win a $20 Shopping Spree at Sweet Stamps towards your purchase of rubber stamps. You can use any stamp for your card but if you use a Sweet stamp you receive two entries in the challenge.
Remember, you can only enter the challenge one time, those using Sweet Stamps images will get an extra drawing in the challenge. Please limit the amount of challenges to 10 (including ours)  You must link back to us in your blog post.
 Today I am sharing something completely different then I have done before ,for a design team assignment.
This is a canvas piece I made with several stamps from Sweet Stamps.
here is my list of supplies:

Bold Butterfly Large 627

Copics

Wanted to share a couple views.
The canvas was covered with various sheets of dictionary pages,tissue sheets and fiber papers.
A lot of my inspiration has been coming from Tracy from Helmar. Almost every week she shares a project on Ustream that always motivates and inspires.
Recently one of my friends passed away and this was a piece I made to remember all the memories I had about her and our friendship.
 I used some wonderful lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon
I used various colors of Creative Inspirations paint to give the base different shades.
I even got to use a charcoal pencil to outline the hand drawn heart.
I did use H2o's on the butterflies
I love how the butterflies are dimensional and many colors of the rainbows.
  So this is my LOVE post this week, I would LOVE to have you join our challenge at SWEET STAMPS.

  17. Oooo this is something that looks rather lovely, what a stunning piece you have created here Dawn, it looks sort of grungy/steampunky, I think it is that heart that gives this feeling, the papers and butterflies look fabulous, ACE work.
