Butterfly Squad creative team inspiration: Kathleen

Hi hi sweet Butterflies, Kathleen here!

Yeah already a new project in my art journal to share with you. I hope you like the result so let’s play around and see how we get this done.

Have fun!

First I applied a layer of gesso with a brush and covered the page. Then I applied a layer of paint and some water to make them more fluid. I also added tiny drops of golden paint to make the page shine. I did it several times untill I liked it.

To give the pages some structure I applied several layers with modeling paste through the rectangles and circles stencils.

I played around with crackle paint on top of the modeling paste.

I added some stamping with the crackle stamp and the little number stamp with a white ink.

I coloured some cambric with cobalt teal hue paint and some water. For the heart I applied a thick layer modeling paste with the heart from the rectangles stencil. On top of the heart I put some crackle paint and coloured it with golden paint.

I stamped the text on white cardstock and embossed it, then I painted it with cobalt teal hue. I also distressed the edges and coloured them with golden paint.

I couldn’t resist myself when I saw my sewing machine and added some sewing.

I coloured the rectangles with the same colours of the background and my page was done.
