Silhouette Butterfly frame

 Dare To Dream Frame

The theme for August at CVC Challenge is Silhouettes and at the time of making this project (back in June lol), hubby was busy making wooden things to sell at a school summer fayre linked to 'Men in Sheds' where he loves to go to get some woodworking time and of course there's always a lot of chat going on with the other members over a cup of tea.

I wanted to help and support the fundraising so I got him to simply cut me some blocks of wood and set about creating the design for one of them which needed prepping with a layer of white gesso and then a layer of Yorkshire Rose Frenchic Paint. When dry I stamped the butterfly collage stamp and embossed it with black embossing powder. When it was cool I painted in the gaps.

So what to do next?  I adhered a Tim hardware head to the top and tied rafia round it. I didn't feel this would be sold on it's own. Hmm!  Ping! Let's add it to a frame. 

I found a piece from the wallflower paper pad which became the background.

I stamped some words and added a few flowers and curly moss. 

Eh Finito.

I hope someone will want to buy if for a couple of pounds.

Please come over to Facebook and join the Country View Crafts Challenges group if you haven't already and share a silhouette project with us.
