Inspiration: Victoria Butterfly Gardens, British Columbia, Canada Beautiful memories from a visit over 10 years ago.
So happy to give my butterflies center stage on the card for they have waited a long time to be inked once again. In fact so long I do not remember the manufacturer so if anyone can help me with that I would certainly appreciate it!
I defined the portion of the Flower of Life stencil (by Artistcellar) that I wanted to print on my cardstock panel including the right top and bottom corners (border area on the stencil) by masking off unwanted areas with printer paper. I also used Eclipse masking paper to define the placement of the butterflies. After lightly misting the stencil I gently tapped the cardstock into the mist to capture a reverse print.
This is my first inking of the HA leafy vines stamp and I placed the image on the left side. A blending tool was used to color the background with distress inks and a aquabrush to paint the butterflies with distress inks. The image is matted with black glossy paper and attached with 3-D dots. A corrugated packing paper was painted and buffed with Inka Gold covers the cardÂ’s front. Sparkling accents were added to the butterflies with a Sakura gellyroll stardust pen.

Before I read you description I tried to recognize the various maskings you used for this card. Very cool to extend the challenge like this. Great card. Thanks for playing along with this challenge and rocking it!
