Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combo Challenge: WHITE. Participants were to make a ONE LAYER card with WHITE CARD STOCK ONLY. I made a one layer cards last week, and I swear, I heard a THUMP when Speedy the Cat hit the floor after fainting...LOL!
I cut out a MASK from the Top Note and used non-sticky tape to adhere it to the card front. To color in the scene, I used a Copic Airbrush System. The sun was made by punching a 1" hole from a scrap piece of paper and using the SCRAP as a mask. I used Copic : YR15, YR18. The background was made Top to bottom with Copic: BG11, BG32, BG45 and E15.
The silhouettes and sentiment were stamped in Basic Black. Next, I punched out the butterflies and used the scrap for a MASK! YES!!! Those butterflies are SPONGED ON! I added highlights with a Signo Pen.

Poor Speedy - but only you could take a one-layer card to such a wonderful new level of 'WOW'!!! Simply gorgeous... Off to look at your tutorial although I know I am quite incapable of pulling off the blending of colours you've acheived... Great work...

Faith, this is gorgeous. I hope I don't have to read on on of your cards that you had to give Speedy mouth to mouth. He just needs to not be surprized at how talented you are. Only you could make this ONE layer card look as good as it does.
