I promised you I would show you my piece from the MS Trust Secret Art Show when it had sold. I forgot to take a photo so Jo from the MS Trust very kindly sent me a scan of it. And here it is
The butterfly is from a (now sadly) discontinued stamp plate by Elusive Images. I stamped it onto the heavy watercolour paper that the MS Trust sends you when you show interest in creating a piece for the show. I embossed it with a silver embossing powder andpainted it with Twinkling H2O's, then used a yellow Ecoline Ink to colour the background.
The sentiment was also on the stamp plate but I needed it to be bigger, so I printed onto to tissue paper through my printer. I have a Kodak ESP printer and the ink dries very quickly on all the things I've tried through it so far. As long as I tape the tissue to a piece of cartridge paper it prints fine. As the ink dries very quickly you can use gel medium to adhere it to the background which is what I did here.
It sold on the first day of the sale. How chuffed am I ?!?!?!
There are still some pieces left. Please have a look. Its a great cause very close to my heart (for obvious reasons!!)

Wonderful piece, Jill and I am not surprised it sold very quickly. Thank you for explaining how you made it - I would have been stumped by the sentiment (I have never used a scanner). Lots of lovely stuff left too.

Your butterfly is beautiful. I am so glad it sold. I hadn't picked it out as being yours though!
