Less is More 78 and JUGS 147


Just Us Girls has a gorgeous photo as inspiration this week.  Since I am a very literal person, I wanted to do justice to do this picture.  I used this sketch from Less is More

I scored the space, then using stipple brushes created the background with Adirondeck inks.  The leaf-flower image was a mixture of stamps from Whipper Snapper, Stampendous, and Inkadinkadoo.

I stamped the butterfly from PaperTreyInk with Staz-On onto acteate, and colored the back of it with Copic Markers.  I added some white dots with a gel pen to the front, and added the pearls (colored those with a black copic).

I liked how Giovanna created this white on white border, so I used her idea.

Thanks for looking.
