Decided to try another butterfly card today for Card Concept (clean and layered) and had made the stenciled background a few days ago. Also had some vellum butterflies left over from yesterday's card and so began this card. Colored the backs of the vellum butterflies with distress pen in same color as the stencil color. Made the stencil from a PTI die and sponged the color, adding some ink spots by flicking my brush.
Supplies:
Stamps: Technique Tuesday (wishing you); HA (happy birthday)
Other: SU beautiful wings die; PTI vellum; Ranger distress pens (tumbled glass and shabby shutters)
Thanks for looking and your kind comments. Betty
