image: Magnolia
medium: Faber Castel water colour pencils
others: daisy punch, Sizzix leaf die, Spellbinder Label 4 die,
lace, daisy punches, pearl, bling, air-dry lightweight clay, butterfly silicone mold
I re-colour this image using water colour pencils and the image was lightly stamped to avoid bold inking on the line. Made the flower using crunching technique and added gesso on the edge of the petals.
I made the butterfly using air-dry lightweight clay with a bakery type silicone butterfly mold. It does not need oven to bake and will cure within 24 hours. However, to speed up the drying time and for easy removal from the mold, I put it inside the freezer for a couple of hours and voila, the clay can be easily taken out and did not lose any fine detail too!
