I love all of Jennifer's new designs but I decided to use this gorgeous stamp called Lilac and Butterfly.

Instead of colouring the entire stamp, I decided to make the butterfly the centre of attention.
I stamped the image with Brilliance Pearlescent Purple onto vanilla cardstock.  And then stamped it again using memento black onto x-press it copic card, coloured it in with my copics and cut it out.  I did this step twice.  There is a separate top and bottom wing to give the butterfly more dimension.  I used a glue dot in between the wings to lift the outer top wing.  I also used a black marker to draw on the butterfly's legs and antennae.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Lilac and butterfly, Happy Harvest
Card : vanilla, river rock, plum, x-press it
Ink : memento black, Brilliance pearlescent purple, antique linen distress ink
Other : black pearls, vanilla seam binding, corner die (whimsy), copics

Copics used :

B 0000, 00, 02, 04
BV 0000, 00, 02,


If you get lost along the hop, here is the order . . .

  8. Love this card and your colouring of the butterfly! So happy you showed me that the lilacs didn't have to be coloured and could be equally as beautiful with the butterfly as the scene stealer :-).
