PaperArtsy 2015 blog Challenge 'The Fragile Papers'

Happy 2015 and welcome.
PaperArtsy challenge blog post is very exciting this year.
The Fragile Papers blog you can see Here  and wonderful Lusy's 2015 project 'Tissue Flowers' is Here.  Also you can see the fabulous Leandra's video too!!
I was inspired by Leandra's theme 'The Fragile Papers' and just tried.
I used 8 x 8 chipboard.

First I try to use around the very ordinarily Washi.


I was embossed piled four Washi by TH's embossing folder. Then tore the washi and glued with multi medium at the top. Bottom was collage in leftovers.
I then painted Fresco Inky Pool to the top and Autumn Fire to the bottom with much water. 

I tore the sheet of washi about 5mm width each and I was glued to the grid pattern onto the orange color bottom. 

Then I added a texture to use the beads, beeswax and Whit Fire Treasure Gold.
Finally I stamped  PT3 for the focal by Potting Soil Archival onto the Washi. Also I made flowers by same the Washi and put on the resin butterfly.


Thank you for dropping by and see you soon!!
