Welcome to my feature day! I'm so very glad Unity does this for their customers,
it really lets you know what kind of company it is
and seriously, I feel like a queen for the entire week!
I wanted today's project to really stand out
Here it is
this is a 6"x6" canvas that has had Gesso and multiple layers of Glazing and acrylic paint applied to it
it's been painted, smeared, scrapped, and wiped. That's just the background.
The hearts are a mask from UmWow Studio which I used with Light Molding Paste, once it was dry I pained and splattered it with Golden Acrylic Paint.
While I was waiting for the Paste to set-up, I stamped two of the butterflies from the Nov. 2014 SMAK with Ranger Archival Ink then painted it with Golden Paint.
Next I stamped the Sentiment using the same Ink, I love the imperfect stamp I got from it.
I found some of my older son's used guitar string (which he had just happened to wind like this) so I applied some E6000 (mega stinky) glue.
I used pop dots and layered the butterflies before adding them on top fo the guitar strings.
