Dryer Sheet Art

Follow Your Dreams

I used an Inkadinkado butterfly and Studio G flowers stamped in Momento ink onto two dryer sheets.

The dryer sheets had been washed and dryed then brushed with Mod-Podge, and left overnight to dry.

I cut out the butterfly and flowers and glued them to a blue oval backed with a black frame. Glossy Accents was spread over the entire oval.

Background words are from Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha copied onto Very Vanilla cardstock.
All papers are SU except for the pink which is Blush Dot by BoBunny.

Tag "Follow Your Dreams" is hand written and punched with SU window word and tag punches.
