Timeless Tuesday ~ Butterflies

 

Howdy everyone!  Hope you had an amazing long weekend if you are Canadian like me! This week, our fabulous hostess, Jenny, has a great challenge for everyone!  We want you to use butterflies on your card or project this week (FTTC221).  I know!  Cool right!?  So grab your butterfly stamps or dies or hand cut one and come and create with us this week. 

Here's how I began creating my own card...

Step One:
I first cut a die cut shape out of our incredible Flourishes Classic White Cardstock.  Then I grabbed some "Tuxedo Black" ink by Memento and began stamping my 3 different butterfly images from the "Old Tea Rose" and "Butterflies & Blooms" stamp sets.  I made a mask for each one of the butterflies I stamped using Post-It Notes.

Step Two:
With all my masks on my butterflies, I stamped the script from the "Thank You" stamp set using "Tuxedo Black" ink by Memento again (stamping off first to get a lighter shade of ink).

Step Three:
Next I grabbed my Lilac Collection of Copic markers and my Copic airbrush to create my back ground.

I began by airbrushing the center of my panel with V12...

Step Four:
Next I grabbed, V15 and airbrushed edges.

Step Five:
Then I grabbed, V17 and further airbrushed the edges.  I added a little bit of spatter using V99.
Step Six:
I peeled off my masks and coloured my butterflies using a variety of grey Copic markers...
 
Then I created the remainder of my card using the amazing Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and also the light and dark shades of the Color Made Easy "Crocus" paper collection; Purple Palisades & Bouquet.

Here's my final card...
I used some fun Lavender seam binding ribbon, cool silver metallic string and the cute "Hello!" stamp from the "Tiny Flowers and Tags" stamp set to finish off my card details.

I hope you've enjoyed my little tutorial today.  Can't wait to see what you create with our "butterfly" challenge this week.

Another gorgeous work of art, Allison! I adore the purples, and I think leaving the butterflies uncolored really shows off their beautiful detail!
