Growing in Unity Day 2 - Earth has music

Welcome to Day two of my sharing for Growing in Unity.

I started today's project with a piece of cardstock that I mono printed using my gel plate. I loved the colors and the texture (from bubble wrap).

I used black stazon ink and:

Unity Stamp Allow Yourself

I painted the flower side and the butterfly's dots with white acrylic paint.

Then I watercolored the butterfly side. I also started watercoloring the flowers with a bit of pale yellow.

How it looked when I had finished watercoloring the flowers. I added some more yellow, red and peach watercoloring.

 The watercoloring left the butterfly feeling a little washed out, so I took a black ink pen and went over the lines. I added a white highlight to the butterfly's body with a white gel pen.

I then masked the butterfly 

I stamped the music score from 

Unity Stamp

SMAK kit Forget the past

I stamped the sentiment from this kit, but it didn't fit. I cut each word and placed them around the edge of the butterfly. I took my black ink pen and went around the squares. I think cutting the sentiment up goes with the mixed media feel of the card. 

I hope that you enjoyed today's project. Come back tomorrow for more. Don't forget to leave a comment to have a chance to win the grab bag of stamps prize.
