Butterflies for Fun

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

In my quest for the dusty blue and brown that I was looking for at Color Hues, I

made several cards using a Penny Black Butterfly.  I was really hung up on

that butterfly and not satisfied that it was what I wanted.

Here they are...

First I tried a piece of alcohol ink.  It has some blue, brown and gold.

I stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne and clear embossed before fussy cutting.

It's okay.

Next I embossed with copper and colored with Ohuhu markers.  Too dark so I tried 

some splatters.  Actually the splatters went well, but the blue was too dark for dusty blue.

So I stamped in brown and colored with Ohuhu markers using a flicking motion instead

of filling in with color and blending.  Once it was dry, I patted it with VersaMark 

and heat embossed with clear powder.

Then I gave up and made this card.

If you've stayed with me this long, I have another sort of butterfly to share from my garden.

It's a hummingbird moth.  He was constantly moving so hard to get a photo.

I'd never seen one before, just pictures.
