dragons dream TIO #123, art for arts sake, dt piece

well it is time for another recipe over at dragons dream tag it on challenge,

the only rules are to follow the recipe and make a tag

using at least one real stamp..

so todays recipe here, is,

art for arts sake.....

 to use: a handmade background,

intersting character(s)

quirky twist

so here is mine:

to create my handmade background,
I used the fab Tim technique ..marbled stains..with a twist of perfect pearls mist
..hopefully you can see the shimmer..
(colours: broken china, picket fence and tumbled glass)
i added some splatter stamping from bitty grunge stamp set..

i then scuffed up the edges and added distress inks..

the quirky twist was the butterflies with bottle bodies...
i love these little bodies and love finding different ways to use them...

I added my interesting character, coloured in distress markers
and added fly from a paperartsy sheet..
i love the fab picket fence marker...gives a real vibrant white...
I added a second set of wings fro added dimension

and finally overstamped the edges
with some fab Tim flourishes..

make sure you pop across here to see all the fab DT makes,
you won't be disappointed!
and maybe dream with the dragon
and pop in a creation using this great recipe yourselves..

have a fab and inky one!
