Hi again, this is another DT project using the amazing September "My Guy" kit from Scraps of Darkness! This is a reverse canvas using a photo from one of my favorite movies, Bram Stoker's Dracula. I made the small frames and buttons for the butterflies with the "Easy Cast Epoxy" kit from the Creativity Add-On this month with the pigment additives included in the kit and then painted the swirlies with gold paint. I used a Martha Stewart mold that I've been dying to try and I love how they turned out. I also made the gear on the watch face with the kit. I used some foil tape for the framing. Lots of techniques on this one, so I'll have details on my blog.

I also tried Renea's "Broken Glass" tutorial for the photo, so fun!! Thanks for sharing Renea!
