To make:- 
Spritz the canvas lightly with water then gently tap on lemon, yellow, violet, orange and purple Bursts. Spritz again then after a minute or so, mop with kitchen roll. Accentuate the background with Distress ink followed by a light charcoal pencil. Lighten areas by patting with damp kitchen roll. Create a moon by applying a damp mini blender sponge to desired area then mopping with kitchen roll; repeat until you get the required effect. On good quality paper, stamp the Butterfly Dress twice using Royal Purple and colour the images with Polychromos. Re-ink the stamp and stamp again onto acetate twice and set aside to dry. Clean stamp then apply Pumpkin ink and stamp again onto acetate sheet.

To assemble:-

Cut out one coloured image and add to canvas using Mod Podge matte. Cut out the acetate image leaving a small outside margin and glue over coloured image to give a 3D illusion. (I used glue dots which I then covered with a stamped flower image.) Cut out a variety of flowers and butterflies from the second image and attach over acetate using mini glue dots.(The acetate adds an outline intensity to the stamped image and suggests a3D effect.) Cut out butterflies from acetate and adhere to suit. Mat and layer onto complementary colour card.

Et Voila! La Mia Bella Donna.  (Not to be confused with ‘Belladonna’ which is another name for Deadly Nightshade and highly poisonous!!!)
 This was a fun project and I very much enjoyed making it. It is my entry for this month's Chocolate Baroque challenge.
