I started with a piece of heavy white cardstock that I spread Gesso onto and then I inked it up with my DOX inks. I dropped water over the panel to lift the colour and add interest. When dry, I stenciled the butterfly and with black, then stamped and white heat embossed the words over that. I splattered with a white Posca pen.
I am also adding my card to Friday's MIX Healing Challenge. I think we are all trying to heal from these uncertain times and it will surely transform life as it was.
thanks for looking
Aww! That is a cute butterfly, I totally missed him when I was looking. This is a gorgeous card. So striking with the stenciled and embossed butterfly!
