Be Brave, - an art panel with Astrid

Hello lovely Shimmerz friends. Today I have a little art panel to share with you.

These are the Shimmerz products I used this time:

Spritz - Truffle

Vibez - Before Dawn, Plum Tuckered Out

Dazzlerz: Foiled Again.

All available from the Store of course.

Here's a quick how to: Start by taking a little art panel and putting down some different textures, then cover everything with gesso.

I used lace, chipboard, cheese cloth, art stones, corrugated card etc.

Here's a closer look at the textures, brought out by the layer of thick  gesso:

Next I took a chipboard butterfly, covered it with gesso, then the Foiled Again Dazzlerz which gave it the most amazing shimmer and finally used two of my sprays, Plum Tuckered Out and Before Dawn applied with a brush to the centre of the butterfly:

I added some gold foiling to part of the wings too, just using a glue stick and some Ranger gold foil.#

Next I went to work with my sprays on the background and also added some background stamping and a sentiment:

I added the butterfly to the centre and that was it.

Well, that's it for today, quick, easy and fun to do, - hope you like it........

And like usual, just a little reminder, - if you want some free paint:

Thanks for your visit today and to my American friends, Happy 4th of July tomorrow!
