Butterfly Challenge

The challenge on the Butterfly blog this time is the word KEY and/or the colour VERMILION.  I'd been working on some background pieces using Distress Oxide inks and it so happens I'd been going for greens/blues so this time I've only managed to comply with the KEY part of the challenge.  The background was done with the Oxides before applying some normal Distress ink and a little white acrylic paint using stencils.  Some text was over-stamped in black onto the background as well as the sentiment; the two layer butterfly was die cut using a left over piece of the background card for the back layer and a key was die cut from black card.


Sentiment - stamp from a Chocolate Baroque set which may no longer be around
Butterfly - Tim Holtz Sizzix die detailed butterfly
Key - Couture Creations Die
Background - Distress Oxide inks, Distress ink and acrylic paint dabber in white

    Hello Val, sorry it's been so long since I left a comment. I have dropped by a few times but seem to run out of time for commenting much these days which is very naughty of me.

    I think it's very apt that I decided to have a saunter round today because butterflies are my absolute favourite and your card showcases the lovely TH butterfly die beautifully. I adore your background and colours and I recognised the sentiment immediately as I have it somewhere in my stash, lol!

    I'll try not to leave it so long next time.

    Hugs
