"Butterfly Garden"Postcard
"Butterfly Garden" was created for this week's Sunday Postcard Art Challenge - the theme this week is "butterflies". The lovely lady is from a FLICKR photo sharing group; a special "thank you" to "paben" for this lovely lady. Her embroidered robe was enhanced with watercolors, Prismacolor pencils, acrylic inks and Twinkling H2Os. Her skin and hair were colored with Prismacolors, watercolors and pan pastels.
All of the butterflies were taken from Dover Publications. They, too, were hand colored using the above-mentioned methods. The two large flowers are digital downloads from scrapgirls.com. They were printed in a photo editing program and hand colored with watercolors and Prismacolor pencils. Charcoal pencil was used to apply the shadows; after it was applied it was lightly "smudged".
All of the images were mounted on a piece of scrapbook paper from S&K Company that was dry mounted to a 4"x6" piece of chipboard. Edging was applied with gold marker.
