Capture Magic

 When spring arrives here, all I can do is think about all the faeries getting out and stretching and getting ready for another farming season... 
I love thinking of them and sending my love to help out in all ways around here...


So I have been using faeries in my art this week....This little one is guarding the butterflies... so cute... 


This tag is a challenge tag for GRUNGY MONDAY  and Linda asked us to use Tim's 2nd tag of 2011as a guide... I loved doing the tags this Christmas... and also now love doing the monthly ones...  great ideas...   So this was a pleasure Linda... 

 I had just received my Chit Chat words... so I had to use them...  and I didnt' have any resist kraft paper... but I used one of Tim's paper from a pad that is sort of like the kraft resist...  I used picket fence distress stain on the paper... and then used a die cut and foam to create the swirl... which I have almost 99% covered up...  LOL...  but you can see a little tiny bot if behind the faerie...  then I used the butterfly stamp and Archival ink to create the line of butterflies...  

 THEN.... this is where I had a lot of fun... I used natural sticky canvas and cut the butterfly border die cut out... and then did that also with manilla paper... for the shadow...  I used Brushed corduroy and Victorian Velvet with my blending tool and colored the butterflies... I then used letters from Santa... love that word stamp... and put some words on the butterflies...  


I also popped it a little bit for the dimensional aspects of it...

The tag needed something more on the top... so I added a tissue paper flower... I dyed the tissue paper with a mini mister... and I think it is a mix of Aged Mahogany and Fired brick dyes... and of course a little perfect pearls powder of some color... love that... great effects each and every time...  

I added a few leaves for the dimensional power again... 
The center of the flower is little white mulberry balls... and a few black stamen... I cut the leaves of the flower out and glued them into place...  a really fun flower...  

So THANKS Linda for the GREAT Challenge... I loved doing it...  
and thank you for all coming by today for a visit... hope you have a fun day creating something that you enjoy doing...  

Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
