While spending a week crafting with Jody (Jodylb), I had luxury of borrowing her wonderful stamps! Thanks Jo! Painted the background with distress paints and a brush after removing the dauber. Stamped over the paint and colored directly on the paint with pencils. Die cut with her beautiful stitched rectangle die and matted on a background we created with the Susie Australia technique of smacking the ink pad on a craft sheet, spray with water and using a wet sponge, smeared it on paper. Thanks for stopping by.

Well Nancy, I can certainly add my vote to all the 'favouriting' of this gorgeous and intriguing card! I thought that butterfly was a sticker or something when I first saw it. Love the contrast between the realism of the way you coloured it and that almost neutral background. What fun to play with a fellow stamping friend!

What an amazing masterpiece this turned into! The butterfly looks so realistic - you have such a gift to be able to capture the beauty! LOVE the swiped background - looks so smooth and carefree under the musical score! Looking forward to seeing you process in person soon!!
