Nate's ABC's/Boots

Nate's ABC's/Boots:

Welcome to Bitten By the Bug2 and our weekly challenge. It's Carole, and I am the hostess for the week. I asked the design team to create from Nate's ABC's and to use the garden boot cut. There are many boots on other cartridges: Create a Critter, Everyday Paper Dolls, Freshly Picked, and there are boots that can be decorated with the garden theme. I picked this cut because we are so anxious for Spring to arrive. You do not need to have the selected cartridge. Please join in on our challenge, upload your boot project through Mr. Linky, link back to the specific card on your blog and give BBTB2 a mention. Please make your project a new creation.

Envirotex Lite And The Dollar Store Butterfly

Follow Here: Envirotex Lite And The Dollar Store Butterfly:

Last year she made a necklace that featured a butterfly I glazed with Envirotex Lite. I found another one on a recent trip to the dollar store and decided to make a second piece.

The butterfly is made with feathers and appears to be hand painted. I am so surprised that this only cost $1.

When I brushed on a glaze of Envirotex Lite resin the paint really popped. I let this side of the butterfly cure for 24 hours.

Then I painted on a glaze layer to the back side. This will make my butterfly much stronger and I neglected to do that the first time I made a resin butterfly.

When the backside was cured I applied a third glaze, just to the front side. My butterfly is very strong now!

This necklace is a showstopper!
