So I've used:
- Small box canvas
- Tonic studios butterfly punch
- Flower stencil (made from an old birthday card)
- 2 x pink inks
- silver ink
- mod podge
- variety of black, pink, white, grey scrapbook paper
- clear patterned vellum
- superstrength paper glue
I started by punching out 40 butterflies from my pile of paper and vellum scraps ( got a little carried away actually and punched dozens more out of every colour pretty paper scrap I came across lol). Then I turned to my canvas and used the stencil to ink out the flower background, I'd laid the butteflies on the plain canvas earlier and it looked bland then i found the old card for the flower stencil. After letting the ink dry i applied a coat of mod podge as the silver ink has a habit of smudging and rubbing off on things, then i had to wait overnight before i could add my butterflies.
I'm quite chuffed with the result
, now i just need to decide which room to hang it in when we get ourselves all moved and sorted :)I'm linking this project to:

Hi Steph. My name is Jan. This is my first time here and I absolutely LOVE butterflies in general -- yours in particular. What a marvelous project. I have a link party every Tuesday called the Boardwalk Bragfest, and I would be honored if you were to link up. I post the link on Monday evenings.
Anyway, I like your style, so I'm signing up to follow you. Please visit my blog, and I would love for you to sign up to follow me, as well.
You be careful working on those airplanes!
Wow--pretty!!
