STAMPlorations April Theme & Photo Prompt challenge reminder

For my second project, I painted a few of the

CRAFTplorations Butterflies using the colors in the photo:

 

The raspberry butterfly is stenciled in white paint using the

 Make Marks #3 ARTplorations stencil. Once the paint dried,

I placed the stencil back on and traced around the design 

with a blue marker, to give it a fun, whimsical look:

 

On the green butterfly, I used a white Gelly Roll pen to trace the

design using the Swirly Blooms ARTplorations stencil. I dotted the 

centers of the flowers with the raspberry paint:

On the blue butterfly, I started with one wing and using the white

Gelly Roll pen, traced the design from the Christmas Wreaths

ARTplorations stencil. Then I flipped the stencil over onto the

other wing, trying to line up the design as close as possible to get

a mirror image, and traced the design. I color filled the leaves and

berries with the same green and raspberry paints:

 

Once the sealer was dry, I added rhinestones to the bodies for

some sparkle! I haven't decided yet if I want to add these to

a wreath, or to make them into ornaments. Decisions, decisions! 😀
