Shelter Yourself

It's time for

 Challenge #136 Spots and/or Stripes

over at 

Crafting When We Can

and our sponsor is once again the fabulous

Sasayaki Glitter

I wanted to get away from card making again

as we often forget to use digi images in other kinds of project.

This is a clearance item...mdf 11 and a half inch square panel

(one of my 25p per item haul)

 I keyed the surface with sandpaper before gluing a sheet of 12x12 

scrapbook paper on to it.

I am using Docrafts Festive Fauna papers

 I just Luuuuurve the Birch tree papers...

 I tore strips with trees on to use as....trees lol

The image I received from or sponsor is

"Butterfly Garden"

and the beauty of digi images is that 

you can print them as big as you need :D

 I coloured her with promarkers 

and tore her (and the butterflies) out.

 She looked like she was floating, so I used 

mesh ribbon to create a horizontal stripe to ground her.

I added  another stripe of blue mesh

 and grey lace to the top edge for balance.

 She still looked a bit "floaty" so I coloured a few 

paper flowers for her to sit amongst.

 When I showed it to my teen...he said the piece reminded him

 of a short animation he had recently seen called "Shelter"

and so the legend was created.

 She does look a little sad even though surrounded by such beauty...

(Watch the video...it's so sad yet so beautiful)

Enjoy :D XXX
