Stitching Butterfly

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm seeing signs of Spring outside my windows.  The daffodils are blooming and some 

of the trees are budding out.  Soon we will be seeing the butterflies, although none

in this color.  But I was in an aqua mood.

I used Cécile's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #725.

I made a loose watercolor background by first painting water randomly then

dropping re-inkers into the wet.  I tipped the card to let the water run and blend a bit

then dried with my heat tool.  I repeated the process until I was happy with the background.

The butterfly (sorry this one doesn't seem to be available anymore) was cut from 

mixed media paper too and colored the same way.

I tore a scrap piece of Neenah to size and embossed it for a place for the

butterfly to light.

I'll also send it over to Seize the Birthday #321 where they are looking for 

birthday cards with the option anything with wings.
