Craft Idea from Artsy Fartsy Mama

 I need one last Craft to make this semester.  Then I will gear up for our Summer Reading Program.

And I ran across this great post

And although I copied her butterfly colors ALMOST 100%, I thought her butterfly was AMAZING and beautiful and I have loved rainbows since as far back as I can remember.  So yes, I copied.

I haven’t added the Baby oil yet, I will post after I try that out.

Here's my take on her idea.

Now I have done the Baby Oil version.  It was fun.  I colored one color family with one Q-tip, as in all red even if different shades of red.  All orange with a 2nd Q-tip, etc.

Then I turned it over on the back and basically used one q-tip and kept rewetting it with the oil and "colored" the back of the butterfly.  It kept getting "darker" and showing the butterfly.  After I got the back all showing with the butterfly, I got the extra baby oil off by blotting it between 2 paper towels.  Don't rub.  It will remove some of the coloring.

Then cut it out.  It is almost translucent.

Beautiful!  Thank you Artsy Fartsy Mama for this amazing idea!!
