My Card ~
I made a stencil out of my PTI Cover Plate: Butterfly by cutting out the smallest butterfly die. Instead of using a paper towel, I used my Mini Ink Blending tool and dabbed it into each ink color for my background.
The Peony On Parade flower and leaves were die cut and stamped with Black ink, The center of the flower is embossed with black powder. I was going to color it in, but decided at the last minute to leave it as is and just pop it onto the butterfly panel.
My original thought (which I totally forgot!) was to cut a Black cardstock panel instead of the Aqua for a bit more drama ... I may do that with the next card :-)
Hello Helen! Your card is soooo beautiful! Love the gorgeous butterfly stenciling and this fun technique for MIM!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, the stenciled butterflies are so lovely! Beautiful card, Helen!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Helen! How clever of you to cut one of the butterflies from the cover plate. I never would have thought to do that. The colors you used on the background are awesome! A beautiful, beautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly was a great choice for the technique, Helen--beautiful card & I like the flower not colored in!
ReplyDeleteGenius idea to just the butterfly as a stencil and part of the total design.
ReplyDeleteHelen, this turned out SO beautiful! I love your stenciled butterfly background in all those lovely colors, and leaving your flower uncolored was a fabulous idea as it just really pops! Beautiful, beautiful card!!! :0)
