B is for Butterfly

Hi there. I had a lot of fun last week playing along with the Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. I made 7 cards for the hop and managed to comment on all 468 cards in the hop! I'm not sure I could do that again, but I saw lots of amazing creations!

Today I have a card inspired by 3 challenges - Virginias's View All Things Embossed, Simon Monday Challenge  'B' is for... and the Craft Stamper Take it, Make it (put a stamp on it) Challenge.


I took a piece of watercolour paper and stamped the Kaisercraft butterflies and Penny Black Soft Whisper Branhes in black and clear embossed. I used a combination of Distress inks, Brushos and lots of water to make the background.
I then coloured butterflies. When I had finished, I decided the butterflies had to be stamped again and fussy cut to make them stand out. I coloured them with distress ink , then swiped with versamark and clear embossed. I sprinkled glitter on the butterflies while they were still hot.
The sentiment is from STAMPlorations.
