Path of Positivity: Butterflies

  

Hello

Today is the smidway reminder for the October challenge at the Path of Positivity.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. We have decided that our overall theme for 2024 will be THE POWER OF WORDS.

October's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about 

Growth and Change

***

Here is my project:

This is such a beautiful sentiment and one of my favourites as it reminds that change is good - generally, I'm not too fond of change as it causes me anxiety.

I have had a batch of these butterflies and caterpillars in a little wallet for a while and sadly can't remember where they are from. They were fussy cut, but looked a little dark, so I added some white Posca pen dots to the edges of their wings. I also added Glossy Accents to the body of the butterflies and to the caterpillar. I made the background using a stamp and Distress Oxide inks. The inks were spritzed with water, then stamped onto white card. The edges of the mandala stamped background were inked in Pistachio and Evergreen Bough. 

I added the die cut sentiment in the centre of the mandala on foam tape and attached the butterflies, also on foam tape, leaving their wings free to flutter. All was matted onto teal card and popped on a 6 x 6 inch white card base
