πŸ¦‹ Growing in Unity Day 3 . . . Be Brave

✨️
 Helloooo again,
 I hope you are all having a fabulous week so far and that the sun is nodding it`s head at you.
πŸ’™
Thank you all once again for leaving such sweet comments the last few days, they have made my day!
✨️
Welcome to day 3 of my 
So I promised you all a change of stamp . . .I hope you like this one as much as I love it.
πŸ’•
It`s another 
one
πŸ¦‹
I must have stamped it 8 times, cut out and then layered to create more dimension.
πŸ’•
I don`t know about you but I love that a lot of sets from Unity have sentiments . . .
Looove them
. . . they fit into so many projects and you will often find I`ve mixed and matched them for 1 project.
 ✨️
Once again I used a lot of coffee for the darker tones, added some Pan Pastels and some doodles to finish.

πŸ¦‹
This was a joy to create and I hope you enjoyed looking.
πŸ’™
Remember - 
Please leave a comment after each of my posts this week to be in with a chance to win 2 Itty Bitty stamps of your choice.

πŸ¦‹
See you tomorrow
Big hugs

Love this piece. Is that grunge? I'm never sure. Love the earth tones and the layers give lovely depth to the butterfly

You are cracking me up with all the coffee Tracy. But what a wonderful effect it has! The layers on the butterfly makes it look so light.
A great make.

Julie Odil said...

Your butterfly is beautiful. I am a bit concerned, as I am not a coffee drinker. How will I ever achieve this look myself? Perhaps tea has the same effect, only slightly more subtle? I should experiment with this...
