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.
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.

Gosh, I would have been thrilled no end with just the first butterfly. It's gorgeous, as are all three! Love the embossing, too. I hope this comment goes through.

ReplyDeleteEach of your butterfly cards is uniquely beautiful. They are sure to be treasured by the recipients, Bonnie. I've never heard of a hummingbird moth. Maybe they haven't visited Canada yet. :) Very cool! xx
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful cards using that beautiful butterfly Bonnie, and the accompanying stitch circular sentiment mat on the first and the pretty embossed backgrounds on the other two all work so well. x
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly cards are all so beautiful, I especially love the colours in the first ❤️
ReplyDeleteI don't see my comment so will try it again. I love all 3 of your beautiful butterfly cards, especially the last one where you flicked the marker. Love the colors. I have never heard of a hummingbird moth, but it does look kind of like a hummingbird.
