Number One

The challenge theme this week on Make a Moo or Two is the number
one.

The challenge site is a year old this week.

It is such a well run challenge site,
with great themes set each week & fabulous examples to inspire.

The challenge entries may differ in their technique, style & content,
but they are always beautiful.

So "Thank you & congratulations" to the Make a Moo or Two challenge team
& a "Thank you" to the participants.

Here is my entry for this week's theme.


I created a background using the word One in the languages of the participants.

This was printed on white card & adhered to a mountboard base.

I coated it with clear gesso, then sanded the edges.

The two butterflies are images from Dover Publications,
but I have altered the colour,
printed them on white card, cut them out & edged them with black ink.

The No. 1 are grungeboard elements coloured with acrylic paint.

I added a touch of blue satin ribbon,
doodles using a white opaque pen
& a fine tipped black pen.
