CHIPBOARD BUTTERFLIES

     These butterflies were made by using the tutorial found at Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen called Chipboard Embellishments. While she went on to use her butterflies as elements in digital layouts, I took my objects off the page and mounted them on chipboard.  They are about 3 1/2 in. wide.

  
     I started by selecting backgrounds from her Digital Kit called 'Firm Foundation'.  I also picked a couple backgrounds to use to make flowers.  The antenna's are made of wire and I decorated each with small metal Steampunk gears.

COMPENDIUM OF CURIOSITIES 3 Challenge 30

     This is my entry to Challenge #30 in Tim Holtz's book  'A Compendium of Curiosities 3'.  If you don't have the book you can get a signed copy HERE

     My glass bottle is filled with a secret 'Love Potion'.  Anyone care to try a sip?

     I started by gathering all my ingredients and following the directions on page 54 of Tim's book.  I can't give away the technique, but it sure was fun!  Tim Holtz and Mario Rossi are offering a great prize to the Curiosity Crew's pick.

     Here's a close up of the Faux Cracked Glass technique.  If you would like to get involved just go to Linda Ledbetters site HERE to get full instructions.

     There is also a prize of a $25 Gift Certificate being offered by The Funkie Junkie Boutique.  You can visit their site HERE.
