Dream and Discover

I recently signed up to be a Technique Junkie, and one of the perks is getting to be in a Yahoo! group that shares their artwork with each other. One of the techniques people seem to be working with a lot right now is called Field of Depth, which involves creating a background with an almost 3D effect.



Well, last night I was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and my mind kept coming back to how one particular butterfly stamp in my stash would work GREAT for this technique. I finally hauled my butt out of bed and set to work, and here is what I came up with. It's not bad for a first try, but I know I can (and will) do better.










Butterfly and Fairie stamps by Enchanted Ink; Dream and Discover stamp by Hero Arts.

Colors: Perfect Plum, Lavendar Lace, Going Grey

And: Punches, sponges, Encore silver ink, Stampin' Dimensionals, paper piercing tools, metallic ribbon, Filigree brad by SU!
