Butterfly With Love (by Anne)

Good morning. This was one of my samples for the recent butterfly stamp shows on Hochanda with Lesley Wharton and Chocolate Baroque.


Materials:

• Patchwork Butterfly and Mackintosh Sentiments stamps
• 6 X 6 inch scalloped white card blank, white stamping card
• Inkpads: Versafine (Black Onyx), Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Black Soot)
• Alcohol marker (black) and sparkle brush pens (gold, blue, turquoise)
• Fine tipped pens (sparkle blue and black)
• PVA pearls (gold)
• Stickles glitter glue (Icicle)

How to make it:

1. Create the background by partially stamping the decorative floral panel into the corners of the card using Tumbled glass Distress Ink, turning the card 90 degrees between stamping.
2. Stamp the butterfly, sentiment and swirls with Versafine ink. Colour with sparkle brush pens and ‘doodle’ around the stamped swirls with gold brush pen.
3. Using the fine tipped blue sparkle pen add more ‘doodling’ to the lower left hand side of the background.
4. Edge the topper with Black Soot Distress ink and the alcohol marker. Glue to card front and add faux stitching with the fine tipped black pen.
5. Add Stickles around the topper edge, the butterfly and over the swirls. Finish with PVA pearls.
