Had fun making a card today for favorite challenges. I also did a Stenciled Monoprint Background technique by Lee-Anne Cross for the first time. Thank you Lee-Anne. So fun and easy. I used a Tim Holtz "Stripes" stencil with Distress Inks then spritzed with water following Lee-Anne's video exactly.
This weeks SCS's CAS372 "Love the Chips" inspired me to use this scrap butterfly that I had cut out of a Emerald Green Brushos scrap. I used my HLS Butterfly Die and cut out another thicker butterfly with my SU Coaster Board and glued to my brushos butterfly. Looks just like chip board. I outlined the butterfly with a mixed media pen and attached with Fine Tip Glue Pen. Loved how it turned out. Always fun to use scraps :-)

Beauty beauty Nancy - love ... and your property looks amazingly gorgeous ... I used to live in North Vancouver up the mountain - I dare say I miss that place terribly.
ReplyDeleteFantastic background and really ties in with the gorgeous butterfly! Adding the stitching connecting the hello and butterfly was a fab touch! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Bonnie--the dotted line tying the sentiment and butterfly together is perfect. Love the colors, and the way the watercolor paper adds even more texture to the card.
