Garden Pastels


This 2"x4" piece was done with 3 challenges in mind: 

In my garden I see... - Rainbow Lady
Pastels - Colour Create
2x4 size - Theme Thursday

My background was white cardstock that I sprayed and sponged with pastel mica mists. I stamped it with my favorite flower stamp. Then on another piece of white cardstock I stamped the two butterflies and the dragonfly. All three were treated with clear stamp pad and kaleidoscope embossing powder, giving them beautiful shimmery pastel wings. Their antenna are wire and all three are raised on foam dots (thus a few strange shadows).
