blue hues with white and a touch of black and green.
lots of stamping and masking with gesso . 
The sensational photo by Tara of

and of course Dusty Attic Chipboard.

 the chipboard is trimmed into four separate pieces
and scattered around the page .
one piece is included with the cluster of butterflies and metal elements.
