Special Guest - Doni



Hello Whimsy friends! Today we are thrilled to once again be welcoming the super talented Doni to the blog. 

Since I am a lover of butterflies, rainbows and ATCs, I have created a 3 ATCs  that represent just what I like best. To start I stamped the butterflies from the Butterflies set and colored them with Copic markers. Then I die cut the ATC from the Antique ATC Frames die set set and started working on the background. 

I added a bit of white gesso with a homemade stencil  I then added some texture paste. After this part, I applied some pigments and water until I got a satisfactory result. When everything was dry I blew liquid white acrylic with a straw  to create movement. For the focal point, before gluing the butterfly, I put some white sewing threads, and some glitter with the glue. 

In the end I splashed here and there with diluted white gesso all over the ATC. On the back of the ATC's I used some Distress Oxide ink in a random way with water. The wording comes from the awesome ATC Frames and Signatures stamp. Lastly, I stamped the same butterfly I used for the focal point with some Distress Oxide ink.





Thank you, Doni, for this adorable inspiration!
