Scrap 'N Stamp ~ Bugs & Butterflies Blog Hop *PRIZE*

Welcome to the Scrap 'N Stamp Bugs & Butterflies Blog Hop!

Today's card features something a little different.  Instead of using a butterfly image or something of the like, I chose to make my own.  I used the cool Aall & Create ephemera "White Doodle Leaves" to create my own!


First I designed the tag base for my creation.  I used a Ranger Manila #8 tag.  I laid down a light layer of Catherine Pooler Rose Petals ink.

I pulled out the cool Aall & Create 6x6 Stencil #2 and and added a variety of cool parts of the stencil to the tag using the word art part.

Next I pulled out the Aall & Create Stencil #126, "Lotza Starz". I used some CP Minted ink to add a whisper of stars to the tag.

I used some of the new Hero Arts Collage Background Transfers from the "Antique Collage" package and added some scripty rub-on images on the tag plus a touch of stitching and some white and black paint splatters..

Last but not least, I created my butterfly using leaves from the "White Doodle Leaves".  I colored them in using Copic Markers and glued them together with a hand-cut body.  I mad the antenna with some very fine strips of paper.  I also adhered a few uncolored leaves on the tag too.

This is our hop rotation!  Enjoy!

Hi Allison. This is my first time to your blog. You are so creative. I really like how you combined the different colors and elements so cohesively. I am glad you listed all of them individually so I could find them all (kind of like hide and seek). I really like the stitching and the background stenciling. I am glad I found you on this hop so I can visit again and see what you make next.

Ohmystars! Your butterflies, with their 'leafy' wings, are creative and beautiful; the images/techniques on the background, eye-catching. Putting everything together makes for a tag that is 110% a lovely work of art. Definitely inspired and inspiring.
