Winter Butterfly - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media canvas.

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I primed the canvas with white gesso before adding a design using the Lace stencil and paper paste. When dry, I used liquid acrylic paints to color the background.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I painted the Leafy  Frame #2 and the Wildflower #5 with brown and black paints.

I chose a nude color for the Christmas Berries #1 and the Daisies #3 to remind the butterfly wings from the photo.

I cut a piece of the Lacey Ornament to add in the corner and painted it with white liquid acrylic mixed with a denim Magical.

I added a few flowers to the composition. To finish, I added some glitter.
