Papillon Canvas Project
I find myself always in search of butterflies. For me they hold a personal meaning and symbolism, not only for my uncle who passed away in 2011, but also because of the magnificent transformation they go through from caterpillar to their new being.
My favorite is watching them flitter across the yard — so carefree they look in that moment. For me, they are a great reminder to be open to change and the ebbs and flow of life, while at the same time having a more lighthearted attitude and approach toward it.
Papillon Canvas Project Instructions:
Collage an assortment of paper in geometric patterns onto the background of your substrate with gel medium. Let dry.
Dry brush gesso over the collaged papers to mute the colors.
Stencil the number “3” onto the bottom right corner with gesso, using a palette knife.
Attach a rustic heart with a good heaping of gel medium. Allow the entire canvas to dry. I used a heat gun to speed up the drying time.
Use the Stabilo All Marking Pencil to outline sections of the collage and add doodles.
Add a vintage postage stamp and the word “butterflies” with gel medium.
To finish, stamp text and butterflies with permanent black ink.

Mail Forwarded by the Post Office
If you forward mail to your new address through the Post Office, it won't apply to periodicals/your magazine subscription unfortunately. Also, since mail forwarding only lasts for a short time-frame, we request that you still notify us of your address change to prevent any service interruption to your subscription.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for replacing "lost" issues from your subscription, if we did not receive your change of address request at least two months prior to your next issue's release date.
Subscription issues should arrive within the first week of the month your publication is released. Please add up to two weeks for international delivery.
If your magazine has not arrived by the 20th of the month, please contact our customer service department, so we can check to make sure nothing is amiss with your subscription, and see if you're eligible for a replacement copy. International subscribers can receive a digital version of the magazine as a replacement if one attempt has already been made to deliver the print edition to you.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for postal delays or circumstances outside of our control, but we will make every effort to make it right.
