Inspired By

Hello everyone! Von Marie here and I’m so excited to be on the blog this Tuesday. We have a New Challenge Bumblebee or Butterfly #IB389 and with lovely color inspiration and a New Card Sketch.

Let’s Get Started:

I was inspired and chose to do the Butterfly theme and colors and I had this New Butterfly Stamp waiting to be used from Unity Stamp Co. called A Thought Flew By. I stamped this Big Butterfly with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and colored with my Copic markers. I gave my butterfly blue eyes. I then fussy cut my butterfly with a white border.

I ink blended on another sheet of white cardstock using a Rectangle Stencil from MFT Stamps it has the negative piece easily blend with 2 ink colors. You can use a die and masking paper too. I then used Hero Arts Soft Vanilla ink and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. I cut my stenciled background to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Next, I stamped my sentiment with VersaFine CLAIR ink in Nocturne on white cardstock and fussy cut it out. I definitely can relate to this sentiment I forget all the time. I then glued my stenciled background to a pink A2 card base and popped up my butterfly and sentiment with foam tape. I think it came out so cute and I used the yellow, brown, pink, and blue from the inspiration photo.

You still have time to join us!
