Finally some creating!

I finally have another project to share! My creating time has really dried up these days, so at best I get through one project a week. This project is for Aussie Scrap Source this week. Our challenge was to show a new or different use for templates and masks.

Now, usually I associate these things with creating misted backgrounds. So I decided to instead use them to create a picture. I've taken a canvas panel and created a simple background with acrylic paints (I created my own cloud shaped mask from cardboard, and sponged around that to create a subtle background texture - not that easily seen in the pictures here.)

Then I used some templates to create flowers and butterflies from fabric, which I've adhered onto my background into a little fantasy garden.

That's it for now! Enjoy your week :)
