Butterfly grids

Over on the Country View Crafts blog, the theme for this month is "Anything Goes."
I decided to have a play once again in my repurposed Girl's Annual.

I began by gessoing the page which almost covered the script and collaging some neutral papers.
To this, I added some DecoArt White Crackle Paint through a diamond stencil.
I then added some images from Graphic 45 and blended the page with neutral tones of Paperartsy fresco paint, which I blended with my fingers.

Next, I washed over my pages with watered down acrylic ink in Burnt Umber.

I felt that it lacked detail, so I stamped in Black Archival a fabulous stamp, HOT PICK 1506 from Paperartsy.

For extra interest, I scribbled some butterfly poems here and there with white and black posca pen.

Then, with a black stabilo pencil I drew grids. 

To finish, I sprinkled Infusions Orange County and sprayed with water.

I hope that this piece has inspired you to play and to take part in the Country View Crafts Challenge.
Thanks for looking.
