Looking Forward to Butterflies


This is the time of the year when I really am looking forward to Spring and summer -- my two favorite seasons of the year. While I enjoy a good snow storm, once a season is enough for me! Spring and summer do not last enough for me.  I know there are people who truly love winter and all the outdoor winter activities, but I am not one of them.

I used a dark green ink on a lighter green paper to stamp the Houndstooth Check Technique Junkie stamp.  I layer that on a pale blue card stock and the n on the base card of dark green card stock.

Then I stamped the section with the butterfly of the Technique Junkie Vintage Botanicals stamp http://techniquejunkies.com/vintage-botanicals-collage/ .  I used Copic markers to color the butterflies.  I layered one as the main focal image.  I  fussy cut the other two butterflies and layered them on the same pale blue card stock as the other layer. I drew in the antennae of those two fussy cut butterflies.  I added a few stick on rhinestones in opposite corners to finish off the card.

Have a wonderful day -- and get inky!

Lovely design. I'm liking that houndstooth and like how you stamped it out onto green paper. Your butterflies are very pretty.
