I posted in an earlier blog that I was starting a chipboard journal of sorts to have samples of my art, and I thought this would be a great page for that journal. The butterfly is a image I received for being a part of the Scrapbooking and Crafting Design Team and it is from MyGrafco. I thought something a little different was in store for this cute little flyer!!! I used prismacolor pencils on the butterfly and accented him with blue metallic paint. For the chipboard page, I painted it with several layers and several varying colors of gray, ranging from white to black. I drew the spooky tree on after it was dried and then painted it with metallic black. Something I found out while doing this project is that if you use enough layers of paint, when you bend the chipboard it will crack giving it a weathered look without having to use a crackle medium! I love that look.
So let me know what you think of today's project, and remember to hop on over to see what Terra created today!

Thank you so much! I am very happy that you found us. I am very happy you like todays project also!
Great little spooky scene. Good to know about cracking, as I like the look occasionally, but not enough to buy the paint.
