Live Love Enjoy

Good morning all.

Off to view a property this morning then it's onto a funeral of a second cousin who died last Sunday...he was only 49 but had spent over 20 years mourning the death of his wife and 6 month old son. I think today's project is appropriate.

Sharing today the second project I made for my DT application at STAMPlorations...a 6x6 canvas.


Again all the stamps and stencils were from STAMPlorations. I started with a layer of gesso on my canvas then stencilled the confetti circles with texture paste on one side. I then attached the butterfly mask and used a brayer to add acrylic paint. I stamped the trendy butterfly stamps onto the mask using Archival inks. Rosette is a Memory Box die. Words were stamped onto tissue paper and added with gel medium.

  1. That is absolutely stunning Carol! I can see that a lot of work went into creating this - it's beautiful, so wonderful and very sadly apt. Sorry to hear that about your cousin, life is too short and we must remember to enjoy every moment always.
    I love the texture on this piece and must check out those stencils and stamps. I hope the rest of the week is better with lots of good news too Karen xx

    Sorry to read about your cousin, that's far too young to Die. Then of course so we're his wife and baby, life can be very cruel.
