I focused on Chrysi's:
-butterfly theme
-horizontal pop of colour
I changed:
-ribbon to alcohol ink
-added another butterfly
I started by trying to create the look of the ribbon with Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper. I don't know if you know this about me, but I'm a little bit of a control freak. And I don't know if you know this about alcohol inks, but you can't control them. So that's a match made in heaven, right? LOL! This was my 4th or 5th panel.
When I finished that, I put some yellow, pink and purple inks down on another piece of Yupo paper. This was actually easier, because I knew I was going to die cut it and I wasn't worried about keeping the colour in a particular area of the panel.
I die cut two of the butterflies from the panel, and placed them on top of my 'ribbon'. I didn't love the blue/green showing through the holes, so I used the negative pieces of the die cuts to draw two outlines onto white cardstock. I cut them out with scissors and glued them behind the butterflies. Now I'm kind of wishing I had thought of using vellum for a more translucent look, but these are nice and bright.
I used a Copic marker to colour the bodies black.
Finally, I stamped my sentiment. I don't have any black Stazon ink (which is good for stamping on non-porous surfaces), so I used my Catherine Pooler Midnight ink. This ink is archival (the rest of her colours are not), and although it took a long time to dry, it worked.

Gorgeous CASE! Luv the bright colors. I can sympathize with your control issues - those alcohol inks are so unruly. You did a great job getting them to behave for this card.

I had that same vision of ink rather than ribbon when I saw the card that inspired you in Chrysi's gallery. I did not follow through with that vision, but I love seeing how you did it on your beautiful card.
