Beautiful Linda. Now, I am trying to determine how you created this one; you are always an inspriation to many on PN and to me. Rebekah B.

Thank you. I am glad you like it. I had fun doing this. I did a little editing work in Photoshop CS4. I took an image I had of some shrubs and grasses and inverted it. I adjusted the colour a bit, added some canvas texture. I drew the butterfly in Corel Draw saved it as a bitmap and imported it into the Photoshop file. I placed it in the corner and decreased the opacity to about 50%. There you have it. Thanks again, best wishes.

... very good work ... regards from Cyprus ...

Very artistic and beautiful, Linda, well done.

Hi Linda.........just wanted to say that this recent additon to your portfolio is both refreshing and beautiful. Lovely colors with a delicate balance. Reminds me very much of 'home made paper'.........Lovely colors as well....congrats on a beautiful creation! sincerely, Gail

I'm glad you mentioned the paper. That is exactly what I was going for. When I thought this one was finished I felt it lacked something, it looked too flat. I wanted to give it that natural, heavy hand, made paper look; the type that has bits of twigs and leaves in it. Thanks for stopping by, it's good to hear from you.

7/7!

Thanks so much for stopping by and giving this such a high rating. I am glad that you like it. Best wishes, Linda
