Marvelous Nature

Good Morning

April just flew by and I can't believe it's the first day of May!

I just had to make a card using this just released Layered Butterfly stencil and I paired it with the Shell Swirl stencil that are both from A Colorful Life Designs.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Shell Swirl stencil across the top of my panel. Using some Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and a hint of Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink, I inked it up with my blending brushes.  
• I lifted the stencil, wiped it off and repositioned it along the bottom and inked it up with the same colours.  I set that aside to dry.
• I took another piece of white cardstock and place the solid part of the Layered Butterfly stencil onto it and inked it with some Tumbled Glass DOX ink.
• I removed that part of the stencil and positioned the details of the butterfly over the solid inked area.  I used the same colours as mentioned above to ink it up.
• I splattered the butterfly with my white Posca pen, then fussy cut it out.
• Next, I placed the main stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Impression Obsession with some black Versafine Clair.
• I glued that onto a piece of green cardstock and then onto a heavy white card base.
• I pop dotted the butterfly up into the corner.

Here are the stencils I used:
