I painted the background with an Americana black acrylic paint and the wall paint from Sico called "Faubourg". I painted with the wall color and mixed in the black going diagonally on the canvasses. Then the trees are sculpted with "Liquitex" ceramic stucco from Michaels. When they were dry I painted them with metallic acrylic paint in the bronze and added shades of black. I made the butterflies and the birds, using the technique of burnt paper bag with Aleene's tacky glue. The technique can be found here: http://www.cool2craft.com/burnt-brown-bag-butterfly-box-by-ecoheidi-borchers/ .
Then I added color by using the mini-metallic rub-ons from my stash. I added gems and antennas.
The flowers were white and the leaves were green before I painted and distressed them. Here are the before and after pictures:
. I used Memento Tuxedo Black re-inker and the wall paint "Faubourg" diluted with water in a spray bottle to paint the flowers. I dry brushed the leaves with black paint then used the distress ink black soot to distress the edges. Then I sprayed my home made glimmer mist in silver to had the metallic look.
Next are some pics of the final product.
Till we talk again!
