Butterflies

I really wanted to do the optional twist in the current TIME OUT Challenge - a CAS card using black, white and one other colour. I spent some time thinking about what I wanted to do when my order from Altenew showed up on my doorstep - and I saw the Bejeweled stamp set. Here is what I came up with:

Instead of the normal black on white, I decided to do white on black. I started off by stamping the two butterflies and the CB greeting in Versamark and heat embossing with white powder. I then pulled out my white chalk pencil to do some shading. My intention wasn't to create a chalkboard style card - but that's kind of how it ended up. I added some blue shimmer cardstock behind the black panel. I'm really happy with how it turned out and I will link it up to:

• TIME OUT - CAS with the twist of black, white and one other colour
• Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where anything goes
• Addicted To Stamps And More Make Your Mark Challenge (I used chalk)

I was about to put everything away when I saw that my stamps were all still mounted on my press and I decided to do another card. The challenge this week at Inkspirational is all about neon so I stamped the butterflies in Versafine Onyx, and pulled out my Dylusions sprays. I used a small brush to "paint" the butterflies with the bight coloured sprays and when they were dry, I added a layer of Wink of Stella.

I will link this card up to Inkspirational.


Thanks so much for stopping by!
