Unity Addicts Challenge

Its Wednesday and time for another UnityAddicts challenge! This week our challenger picker extraordinaire was Lisa Hetrick and she chose an inspiration challenge with some to die for plates! You can view the photo of the plates and the details for the challenge at the Unity SCS forum...please join us! In the meantime, my eye candy for you is below and if you want to do a bit of blog hopping go visit my fellow Unity addicts at their blogs---->on the right sidebar!

Here is what I came up with using the blue peacock looking plate as inspiration. The feathers reminded me of the leaves from the Unity set Floral Fantastical, and then I added some flowers from the same set where the puffs were on the plate. I stuck somewhat close to the colors, but really wanted to use my Shimmerz paints to imitate the shiny enamel of the plates, so I colored the leaves, flowers, and butterfly all with Celery and Buttercream Shimmerz....so pretty!! (Everything was colored before I added the Simmerz with my Prismacolor pencils to add some depth and contrast)

My butterfly needed a bit of somun-someun, so I gave her a trail using my paper-piercing tool and mat, then added a bit more of the piercing in the lower corner. More coming at you later today...so check back! And don't forget that tomorrow is HIP HOP Thursday, starting at the Unity blog :) Happy Hump Day! -Cyndi
