Black, White and a Splash of a Butterfly!

Helloooo!  I am rounding off this week of Black, White & a Splash of Colour with one of Tando's little RING BINDERS.  This one is 4 x 4 inches so very cute!!!!  It comes with 8 chipboard pages and would make a lovely scrapbooking gift.  I have left the pages out for another project this time.

It really is white though it looks cream in the photograph doesn't it?  Before I started painting I glued 2 small CORNER FLOURISHES onto the front, then when dry painted all the surfaces with white acrylic.  When this was dry I covered the outside with PVA and attached some patterned tissue paper, gently teasing it around the flourishes.  I wasn't worried about any creases as they add to the look!

I stamped the sentiment with Stazon onto tissue, tore it out and attached with the pva, covering the whole outside with pva as well to seal it all.  The BUTTERFLY has been painted with acrylics, then stamped with a butterfly stamp before some fine clear glitter was added.

Please pop back tomorrow to see how we are kicking off the season here at Tando! Take care, Karen xxx
