Description
Yes. Another one. Will they never end? ... well, not for another 18 days
This is one of my favourites of the series - so be careful what you say about it
I was thinking along the lines of the Empress taking the knowledge of the High Priestess and doing something with it - creating something. Then I thought of Penny Crayon ... yeah, I watched it, all right! I wanted to show that everything the Empress thinks of comes to life, which is why her drawings are flying off the paper And I
butterflies myself - it's a strange obsession. You'll see more of them later 
THE EMPRESS: beauty, creativity, nurturing, abundance, fertility, experiencing the senses, and embracing the natural
INVERTED: stagnation, poverty, selfishness, powerlessness, ignorance

Oh Penny Crayon. You've got me all nostalgic now!
I especially love the changing colours of the butterflies in this one

I miss Penny ...
The butterflies changing colours was purely the luck of the background colour behind them. The butterflies were simply laid over the top of the background and I used Difference so the colour would stand out. So if the background colour was really dark behind them, their colour would be lighter etc so it made a lovely effect

Wow, I love the mood this piece has. Really nice use of textures, mind if I ask where you found them?

Lots of places: There some photos of rust from some general backing papers I found at work (I work in a craft shop), and some watercolour washes I made - all just overlayed together, multiplied and faded and all that Photoshop jazz!
