For my card today I chose to work with the larger butterfly image in the set. I edit my digital images and sentiments directly in word. I wanted my butterfly to be large and the main focal point of my card. I printed the image and sentiment on Neenah 80lb card stock. I wanted to color today’s stamp using alcohol markers. My collection of markers is very small, but they are working for me. I did add a little to my collection earlier this week by finding some ciao markers on clearance! I was very happy! I used a variety of shades from light to dark pink, using copic and altenew artist markers. I found they blended well together. When my butterfly image was colored I added pencils, using a deep red to a light pink. If you would like to know the colors I used, let me know I am happy to share that with you! I used by Brother Scan and Cut to fussy cut my image when it was completely colored.

Once my image was colored & cut I knew I wanted to add a little foiling to this card. I used a dot stencil in my stash and used only a section of the stencil. I used foil transfer paste and once it was dry (about 1 hour) I ran it through my laminator with a piece of foil. I cut down the foiled card stock using a rectangle die from Hero Arts and then mounted it on a pink piece of pink card stock, then adhered it to my card base. I used foam tape to attach the the butterfly and the sentiment to my card.

I hope you and your family are doing well and wish you a nice weekend! Be sure to check out this new release at Graciellle Design. Thank you for stopping by today and have a nice weekend!
