Here's my creation for today.

Today I decided to let the art supplies flow and get into all the fun that Stampendous and Dreamweaver products can create. I started with the Jumbo Butterfly stamp in Jet Black ink and placed the Mosaic Swirls over the top and gently sponged Ranger Distress Inks around the butterfly. I sponged the Summer Stencil on with black ink and then stamped two more butterflies on from the Butterfly Charms set.

Then it was time to Fran•táge with the Encrusted Jewel Technique. I used the chunky Aged Bronze Embossing Enamel to hold onto the delicate Iced Blue Micro Glitter around two corners of the collage panel. I spent a small amount of time sponging some more for shadow and then added some Teal Color Fragments and Chunky Black Embossing Enamel around the image... a la Encrusted Jewel Technique.

Let's get to some more inspiration with the fabulous Jennifer Dove Bonner!
