The letter 'N' and I picked 'Nymph'.
You wouldn't believe what type of pictures I found when I googled 'nymph', LOL!! But I also found a photograph that depicted what I have in mind when thinking of a nymph. I cut out the picture, and using the background as reference, sort of painted the background after the picture. I used one of those cheap children paint boxes to do so. Not too happy about the water, but I do like the background of trees. I did that making small 'dots' with a paintbrush. Of course the dots aren't really dots, they have all type of shapes.
I cut out some tiny butterflies from the Studio Light 'Easy Vintage Line' and glued them only in the middle in order to give them some texture. Around the image I added some charcoal to give her some shade and make her stand out against the background.
I still owe you the word, so here it is.
So I hope you like my page and obviously I am entering the Craft Barn Dictionary Challenge. Have a great week, hugs Frea
