I used a new stencil from Altenew called Tranquil Wings and it's already a 2 part (layered) stencil, but I also added a 3rd stencil from Color Box Art Screens called Rounded. Take a look:
I actually started with the Rounded stencil first to make my background and used a blending brush and Mustard Seed Distress Ink and a VERY light hand so the circles would be very light colored. Next I used the outline stencil of the butterfly's body with Sweet Mango ink...this layer was very visable until I added the next layer with Tangerine Twist ink. Here's a closer up:
As I said it's hard to see all 3 layers but trust me...there's definitely 3 layers of ink on this card! I used one of my Lil Inkers Stitched Circle dies to die cut my off center circle on the top layer of my card and then added the stenciled layer under it, and then attached both to a top folding white card base. My sentiment is from an older PTI set called Choose Joy and it is still one of my all time favorite stamp sets!
You can check out all the beautiful inspiration from the DT and then play along right HERE. This challenge is open till the 24th.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Beautiful! I love the off center circle with the layered stenciling as a focal point. What a lovely inspiration piece for this challenge.
