MARCH SKETCH CHALLENGE - DUSTY ATTIC

A warm welcome to my blog
 today I am sharing my take on the March sketch challenge .
the stunning sketch created by Nadia Cannizzo 
 To go to the Dusty Attic blog 



THOUGHTS 
today I chose a simple color palette.
blue hues with white and a touch of black and green.
lots of stamping and masking with gesso . 
The sensational photo by Tara of 
SIMPLY PHOTOGRAPHIC
 this cluster is made up of butterflies, altered metal flower,
and of course Dusty Attic Chipboard.
painted with
Dusty in Colour Navajo White : DA0903
Dusty in Colour Pesto : DA0918
Dusty in Colour Clear Crackle Varnish: DA0900

 the chipboard is trimmed into four separate pieces
and scattered around the page .
one piece is included with the cluster of butterflies and metal elements.
the image below shows the chipboard cut in two to frame the corner .
the papers are Maja Design Summer Vintage Basics Collection .
