It’s so inspiring each time to see all the other great

Thanks to all who take the time to visit my blogspot and
leave a comment, truly appreciated.
For challenge #7 we were given the words change and/or truth, I came across this quote: "if nothing changes there would be no butterflies"
No doubt possible that that was the quote for me.
Recently I bought these coasters

Recently I bought these coasters
I didn't buy them to put glasses on however, but to use them as stencils.
And this works very well indeed.
And this works very well indeed.
I added some stamping, also using the coasters this time as a stamp.
Last week me and my 4-year old son did some stamping with corks, and I discovered I liked the texture, so I made these acrylic flowers with them.
Added a flock of butterflies and then I just needed to add the quote, I had cleaned of the coasters after spraying on a piece of scrap and believe it or not but the petals were just the right amount for the words of the quote. As finishing touch a button in the centre of the flower and done.
Definitely the quote for you, Clever idea with the coasters and you can never have too many butterflies and all different, love it
ReplyDeletethanks, I am always on the look for materials I can use in my art.

DeleteVery clever of you to buy coasters and then find two other uses for them :) Love this page, fabulous.
