CREATED BY HAND - LETTER OF THE ALPHABET

Theme: Letter of the Alphabet
Used letter "B" for Butterfly and Blue
Using a chipboard butterfly I painted the chipboard with acrylic paints, added some Tim Holtz Blue Jeans Distress ink, and sponged on additional midnight blue acrylic paint to which I added glitter. I Did the same with the chipboard letter B, but in lighter tones, and added a bit of yellow glitter to the letter. I Sprayed the piece with Krylon Matte spray to secure the glitter and eliminate some of the glitz. The Butterfly collage image is from INKA STAMPS. I ran it through my Xyron and it adhered really well. Embellished with black organza ribbon. Thanks for looking.
