Fly

I have had this butterfly stamp for a long time and thought it was time for me to ink it up. The butterfly is big and beautiful and I thought it deserved to have the focus. I first stamped the butterfly in SU's summer sun ink and then took the only orange marker and swiped over the image to give it the two tone look. The glittered background the image is flying over is done with a small stamp that came with the butterfly. I colored them with the markers. The base of the care was done with Distress Ink's Broken China and Dried Marigold. I didn't think of the one word sentiment until after I created the card so I had to use my own handwriting (something I don't like to do).


Challenges used:
Flutterby Wednesday - anything goes as long as it has a butterfly, angel, or fairy
