Who doesn't love butterflies? I certainly do.
But since I'm hosting Art Journal Journey this month, my theme is not
butterflies, 
but Hearts. 
And because Try it on Tuesday's theme is Share the Love, I'll be joining them, too.
In retrospect, I should have called it "Butterfly Love," but instead chose Love makes the impossible, possible.
This started out as a sheet of 110 lb card stock. I suspect some of you are shaking your head and asking why I didn't chose watercolor paper instead. I bought a package of 200 sheets of card stock and only have 14 sheets of watercolor paper left. I'm saving the watercolor paper for art I make for friends. I don't mind that the card stock is wrinkled, bent, and wonky from the handmade shimmering mists I used to create the butterfly that was misted through a stencil.I originally wanted the heart white, then realized it was lost on the nearly white background. I got out my Twinkling H2Os and colored in the heart. Still not enough, I sewed variegated thread twice around the heart.
For the computer generated sentiment, sewn to the page, I colored it also using one of my mists.
I'm really pleased you stopped by today. Your visits mean the world to me. I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey and Try it on Tuesday.

Lovely! And yes, I understand saving the "good" paper.
Look at that butterfly! Love it.
I wish you felt better. Have you seen a doctor?
I love the sewn thread elements. It's fun seeing the variety that comes from the heart theme :)
Oh, this is beautiful! I love butterflies, too. And adding the heart is such a nice touch. Love the pink and purple color scheme as well.
I like the butterfly; it reminds me of tie dye !!! :) ☺☺♥♥
Beautiful page Elizabeth I love the butterfly and the heart hugs Kathy
Wow this turned out beautifully. I do love butterflies.
A gorgeous page Elizabeth, I love the effects you achieved with the colours you used, the heart looks beautiful with the added stitching. I was so happy to see this at Try it on Tuesdays as well as great inspiration for our Art Journal Journey theme.

I think you nailed abstract art. This is really happy and summery for a snowy winter day. Adding the stitch heart (and quote) really changed the whole page-in a very good way. Thanks also for sharing with us at Try It On Tuesday! Much appreciated. Hugs-Erika
This is gorgeous, I love the stitched heart! xx
A very pretty page. The butterfly is so loose and the stitched heart is great too!
I do like butterflies and hearts :)
All the best Jan
F*A*B*U*L*O*U*S !!!
I love the softness of the misted butterfly image, and the stitching around the heart is just right to catch the eye. I think the distorted paper adds to the texture - a lovely, light and airy page.

In this manner my friend Wesley Virgin's tale launches in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.
As it turns out, these are the EXACT same SECRETS many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
That's because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this conversation has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while riding a non-registered, trash bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3 on his banking card.
"I'm so frustrated with going through life check to check! When will I get my big break?"
You've been a part of those those questions, right?
Your success story is waiting to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
