Butterfly in the Wind

This weeks quote challenge over at Paper Whimsy
http://www.paperwhimsy.com/ is Butterfly in the Wind by Hilda Conkling, such a beautiful poem and you can read it below. The challenge this week was to make your 5x5 creation on a tissue paper background, the color of your own choosing. The digi sheet for this week was full of beautiful butterflies, hands and the quote sheet. You had to use at least one butterfly, a touch of silver, (which is on the fingertips of the hand in my piece, doesn't show up though), a word or phrase from the poem and at least one other Paper Whimsy image. Those images are so gorgeous it is not hard to include one in any work I do. This was a fun challenge, not all that crazy about the tissue paper background, had to wait forever for it to dry, not good at waiting, once I got it dry, I applied a bit of crackle paint so I was in the holding pattern again. Guess that was a good thing as I had time to scrape all the goo off my hands from mucking around with gel medium and crackle paint..LOL...Once the background was complete I was on my way to the collage. I am making the quotes into a little book, so once everything was dry I created my book pages and added the artwork. Fun!!!
