Congrats to my friend and fellow DRS DT member, Debbie!! Such an amazing gallery! I finally chose New Butterflies. I kept the multiple butterfly theme, but changed most everything else. Changed the colors, went from a tag to a recessed frame card, added layers. I used the colors from Coffee Stop in yesterday's Inspiration Challenge.
All images are Innovative Stamp Creations . After stamping the main image, I colored it with a combination of reinkers and markers. I stamped the butterflies again, colored them, cut them out and attached them on top of the originals with foam tape under one wing for a little lift. The frame was done on a separate piece of c/s, colored the same way and cut out. I wanted the picture to be a little recessed so I made two more card board frames, cut them out and attached my frame on top.
For the teal half layer, I stamped it with the Canvas Background and the calypso ink. For the lt green layer, I used a cuttlebug folder first, then stamped Little Specks background with leaf ink. Since it was already embossed, the image is mostly on the raised portions only. After cutting out the sentiment with an oval die, I attached it to two pieces I cut using one element of the Symbology 1 die. I used markers to edge all the layers.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups and more details on my blog: The Write Stuff
