Clarity stamps challenge 23 - Things with wings



This is my entry for the first Clarity Callenge of 2015.
First I took an old Gelli plate background that I thought looked like old stone
(come on use your imagination) and stamped two butterflies onto it. 
I then cut out a square aperture leaving the butterflies half in the middle.
I coloured them using Spectrum Noir pencils and then embossed them with clear powder .
Stamped leaves in opposite corners coloured with SN pencils.
Stamped flower group several times and coloured, then cut off violet flower curved them a bit to make 3D and stuck on around the leaves.
To make a background for the aperture I stamped and coloured the blossom branch the inked a cloudy sky with clarity brushes.
Stuck the frame over the background with sticky pads to lift it up.
Thank you for looking.
