Dragons Dream TIO–Self Propelled Flowers

This fortnight the recipe is based on the following quote: Butterflies are self propelled flowers. (R.H. Heinlein) and we need to use Flowers, Butterflies and movement od some kind.  Not to forget the use of least one “real” stamp.

100_0584

My tag is inked and misted with the bicycle and hibiscus flower (somewhat obscured) stamped with perfect medium and brushed with bronze powder, well eye-shadow actually lol

I made the butterfly from a Silhouette cutting file that I had been designing to make an oval rosette.  These 2 didn’t quite work right but they made great wings!  I added little fabric roses for the body and beaded pins to finish it off.  It is attached with a brad so that the butterfly moves.

Thank you for popping to take a look.

Cheers, Esther xo
