I first stuck some pieces of stamped tissue paper on the panel, intending for it to show in places in the final product... Then I had the "brilliant" idea to replace matt medium [I don't have any at the mo] by Gesso to stick my tissue, and by Fresco paint to apply the top coat. Hmm... the images are now invisible!
At least I still had that extra texture from the tissue paper, so I continued by adding a few more dabs of paint here and there. I finished the background with stamps from Paper Artsy (sets ESN10 & EEV06) and The Artistic Stamper (Messy Art).
Instead of the hexagons of the sketch I decide to re-use a home made stencil I created for this card and stencilled the butterflies with Sparkle Medium in jade (Imagination Crafts) as before.

I felt it lacked a bit of something so I gave the panel an embossed frame (Frantage Aged Aqua).
Finally I stamped and embossed the sentiment (Magenta) and popped it up with foam pads.
I am also entering the following challenges:
Imagination Crafts - Bugs, Bees and Butterflies, Wow Embossing powders - Mixed Media and Country View Crafts - Anything goes.
Beautiful colours, great textures and the frame is wonderful. Great stamping and sparkle gel, a totally gorgeous project:-) xxx
