The butterflies and the freedom concept especially caught my eye, but I had other projects going and put it on the back burner. Then withing a few days of each other, I received some lovely butterfly images in the mail from my lovely scrappy friend Elizabeth and found a fabulous quote on Facebook that really spoke to me. Thus my layout and April challenge entry was born!
Believe it or not, I didn't use texture paste on this page at all!In keeping with the airy, free feeling I wanted to capture, I added a little stamping/stenciling with ink, a few brushes of blue-white acrylic paint to create the butterflies' flight path, then some hand-stitching to accentuate that feeling of movement.
