Friends With Silence. A Chunkie by Lynne Moncrieff
10:09Hello
I incorporated several other That's Crafty! products including the recently released small sized MDF Rounds, a perfect size to layer a used teabag (with contents disposed off) onto which I layered a stamped and stitched butterfly.

Instructions
After assembling the Chunkie, I applied Gesso but you don't need to, it is more a habit with me!
To this, I then applied Fresco Venice Blue and Glazier. I repeatedly stamped "Make Friends With Silence" onto the Chunkie with a Wildflowers stamp towards lower, left corner.
Now, the focal. A used teabag, snipped carefully to allow me to dispose of the contents, was adhered to a MDF Round - they were a perfect match. Onto a piece of teabag paper, stained with tea/coffee, the stunning butterfly was stamped. With black thread, I added some stitched details to the butterfly.
Onto scraps of eco dyed rice paper, an Affirmation from Set 7 was partially inked up, providing me with the words "friends with silence". This was adhered to a small tag which had been stained with tea/coffee.
At this point I should say "Re-wind" because the ends of the tag were adhered behind the MDF Round before adhering to the Chunkie.
