I've had this mirror from Ikea for ages and it has been begging to be altered so while at my last playtime with my buddy Chriss I began to cut out shapes and stamped to my hearts content... ready to add them to my mirror. It turned out much better than I expected... more for my art wall :D
I played with stamps from Crafty Individuals... I used glossy accents on the faces...
I played with lots of distress ink and made flowers from distress coloured print paper covered in modpodge with altered german scrap for the centres.
Some pieces of my card were put through cuttlebug folders before adding my ink and the butterfly and some other areas were given the rock candy stickles treatment.
I added sticky ribbon round the outside of the frame which had half pearls attached so gave my butterflies pearl antenae too.
Here the Mammy butterfly is looking after the baby one... ;- )
To finish off I added a large butterfly topped flower which has rock candy stickles on too.... love me shiny bits and the chain is a found bit off a little chipboard book.
Hope you enjoyed looking and that the post wasn't too picture heavy for ya.
hugs
