Window to my Soul

The challenge theme on Creative Wednesday is Windows.


I took a 5x7 inch canvas & covered the surface with a thin layer of Distress Paint (antique linen). Once it had dried thoroughly & the cracks had appeared, I took a piece of Cut-N-Dry foam with black ink & rubbed over the surface, which highlighted the cracks.


I used a corner stamp by Crafty Individuals in the four corners, using Archival Ink (Jet Black).


The frame is a fabulous clip art image from Dover Publications & after much fine cut work, I mounted it over a piece of cream vellum. The image, or should I say, reflection is a Non Sequitur rubber stamp, again stamped with Archival Ink.


I must also mention that the frame & lettering were printed out onto papers from Shabby Princess.


The butterflies were lifted from a photograph that I took earlier this year, of a Speckled Wood butterfly as it was fluttering around my garden.
