Mixed Media Butterfly Photo Frame

love the results on this photo frame, it started off just a smooth brilliant white frame with molded butterflies, nice enough if you like white, which i do but i like colour more.......

so i added colour!

really hard to see what the colour is from the photos

its a mix of reds and blues so you have some gorgeous pinks and plums going on.


i first painted in with gesso then let it dry, then went over again stippling the gesso to add some texture to the butterflies.

the colours are from the imagination crafts spray ink range, love them, and my hands were a lovely colour too!!



you can see the colours better in these photos.
after using my heat gun to dry and going round several times finding white patches i then added some silver wax that picked up the texture in the butterflies



a quick alteration and loving the result.
