My next piece has been created for the following challenges:-
Simon Says Stamp and Show - Some Metal.
Grungy Monday - Following Tim's technique HERE.
The Stampman Challenge - Butterflies and Dragonflies.
This is my background piece which I have photographed separately as it is very difficult to photograph behind glass. I have decorated this piece using Tim's technique highlighted above for Grungy Monday.
I have added butterflies from Tim's Papillon set if stamps, stamped onto the Retro Grunge paper stack and added metal embellishments to the bodies along with a metal philosophy tag from the Idea-ology range.
I placed my piece behind a frame which has been painted with Fresco paint Toad Hall and I then dry brushed Honey Dew over the top to give a washed appearance. Metal corners have been added along with wings top and bottom.
Specimen 2a has been added using Tim's Alpha Parts.
A close up shot to show a little more of the detail, sorry about the glare but it was very difficult to get a photograph behind the glass.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Tracy x x

Love love this. The most creative way I've ever seen to make these butterflies!
WOW Beautiful work Tracy, love the detail and colours. I'm with you, getting good clear pics is hard if there's no sun but behind glass is a whole new ball game. Well done for getting it as clear as you did, Gay xxx
