I made this card for several challenges. For MSP35 "Not an A2" where I used my Misti and several dragonfly and floral stamps with VersaMark to create my background for my 5" x 7" card.
I heat embossed my background, then used a large blending brush and 4 different inks, rubbing over the embossed images. Next, I used a "crackle" stencil and "Going Gray" ink over the top of my background with a blending brush. This was for the "Reverse Stencil" technique, TLC804.
I stamped my main image on heavy white cardstock and colored with Prismacolor pencils, adding Wink of Stella to her hair and the words. Once I finished coloring, I went over the 5 words with a black Micron 03 Pen. I attached the image of the women with 3D adhesive strips. On the upper lefthand corner, I added a die cut lavender butterfly glued onto a die cut black butterfly. I added a gems to the center of the butterfly, dragonfly eyes, and a gem swirl on the lower right part of my card.
My card also works for the ABC Challenge, letter P for "Patience."
