Just Because MDF wooden butterfly (black) -

Day 15 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's challenge is an MDF wooden butterfly that I have decorated with butterflies from Altenew.

How I made this projects:-

I first of all covered both sides of this large butterfly (which I either got from Dreamees or Clever Cut) in Black Gesso (I used Pebeo this time but know that there are many other brands available.
I repeated this a couple of times (letting each layer dry before adding the next).
I used a anti-static pad over it to reduce grease marks etc and then inked up the Butterfly stamp (from Altenew) once and then used some Papermania's Seafoam White embossing powder and used a heat gun to emboss it.
I repeated this process several times to cover it.
I thought it might be interesting to use a sentiment as the body of the butterfly so added the Just Because sentiment using the same process.
I then added the red and white Baker's Twine to allow it to be hung up.
Finally, to protect it, I used some Zig Varnish marker over it

And there you are - a gift that is simple to make but would make an ideal present or just make it for yourself!
