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.
