Hello! I was trying to decide on a card design to make for the current challenge at Modsquad Challenges which is Beautiful Butterflies - to include a BUTTERFLY on the front of your card. I was trying to decide whether to create a background using some fancy technique, do some ink blending, use some dies, add a lot of embellishments, etc and then it struck me ......just focus on a beautiful butterfly and let it be the star on the card. I simply used an older Gina K Stamp from the Hope is Faith set and stamped it on a paper that was preprinted with a frame (in my stash from Gina K) using Memento Black ink. I colored the image with Memento Markers and a Sakura Blue Gelly pen. I checked the image of a Swallowtail Butterfly to make sure my coloring was close to nature. I attached the image to a card base of Gina K Wild Dandelion. I am pleased that I decided to focus on the butterfly.
